Perm job - asked to pay for training courses attended upon handing in notice

[The Lone Gunman]

Claim she was forced to take the treining or lose her job. She was then forced to sign the agreement or lose her job.
It was this attitude that caused her to look elsewhere and she considers the demand for repayment as extortion.

Or pay the bill as the employer was doing her a favour in advancing her career in the first place. She could have given notice before accepting the training.

Thanks again everybody for the vast range of opinions voiced. Lots of food for thought and you've all been helpful in enabling to work out how to move forward.

I'm slightly disappointed at the judgemental nature of many of the posts, but with hindsight perhaps it would have been best to provide a bit more background info to help people understand why the situation isn't quite as black and white as it may first appear.

But I guess it's a bit late for that now.

You asked for opinions and got some you didnt like. Stop going on about people being judgemental. If you dont like the answer, dont ask the question.

Its as clear as ******* day that your missus agreed to the deal but now wants to renage on it.

As I said, far too many people do this nowaday and it seriously needs addressing.

Can you close of this thread by letting us all know what action you decided to take and any outcome that resulted??

Will do, but you'll need to wait a couple of weeks.

And finally...

* Ask all the moralising, sanctimonious pr1cks on here who have told you to "pay up" to pay the £4K themselves!

That sentence above is enough to judge you by, we have nothing to do with it, why suggest we pay.

Your other points paint a poor image of your character, suggesting she lies etc...... dont get applying for those roles requiring a high degree of integrity

Seems that it is legal, but firm's must follow certain process and must also be reasonable in certain respects (sliding scale of amount etc.).

Last point is interesting. If they try and take the money from the final salary without the correct permission, then they lose the right to make any claim.

So how watertight are they?
