Education Bonus Policy

The objective of this policy is to contribute to the growth and educational development of our employees and to reinforce retention.

This bonus only applies to studies which are directly related to the current role or professional profile of the employee, and is directed to workers earning less than five million pesos (5‘000.000).

A permanence clause will be applied to those employees granted the education bonus as follows: The employee should remain in the company for at least one year after receiving the bonus. If by any reason, the employee’s contract if terminated before this time, the employee must reimburse the total amount of the bonus, through the deduction from the final and/or severance pay, according to the bonus legalization document signed by the employee in conformity with Article 149 of “Código Sustantivo del Trabajo”.

To apply for the bonus, these are the steps to:

Send an email to request@talosdigital.com, explaining the details about the required amount of money and the description of the study program or type of study (Should be related to the employee’s current position).

Once the request is received, the management committee reviews it and defines if it is accepted or rejected, and the allotted amount.

The company will directly pay the approved amount of money to the educational institution directly, as indicated in the invoice emitted by it.

This request can only be presented once a year, and it applies only to ongoing studies.

Expenses such as lodging, food and transportation will not be included in the total amount of the bonus, in case the employee needs to travel to other cities in order to complete the studies.

In conformity with article 128 of Código Sustantivo de Trabajo, this bonus does not constitute any form of salary, since it is granted as an economic bonus to the worker, to cover educational expenses, it is provided freely and extralegally, and is NOT A FORM OF RETRIBUTION FOR ANY PROVIDED SERVICES.
