Can an Employee Be Required to Pay Repatriation Costs

[contractmedic]

My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: VA

I am working as a contract medic internationally. Within the contract it says that if I quit before the end of contract I am responsible for getting myself home. Is this legal? Or is a company required to repatriate an employee that they sent overseas?

It's legal if the contract says so. There is no LAW that requires the employer pay for your repatriation if you are terminated for cause or if you resign; in fact, that's pretty common.
