    Default Can Employer Ask Money Spend on Training

    Hi,

    We do have agreement between employer and me that if i leave firm before contract period then he will ask for amount which he spent on me for training.

    Actually there is no traing happening as such but for safer side he just get signed from me on agreement.

    As per US law is it lawful that employer can enforce employee to repay the amount he is asking?

    Let's put it this way. There is no law in most if not all states prohibiting an employer from requiring the reimbursement of training costs if the employee does not stay around long enough for the employer benefit from the training. After all, the employee gets to take the knowledge with him - the employer is entitled to expect SOME return on his investment. In the generic sense, this is legal.

    Whether YOUR SPECIFIC agreement is enforceable or not is something we cannot tell based on the limited information available to us.

    I myself don't think an employer could do this ... otherwise they could charge you for training even if you stayed.
