My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: California
This is my first time posting here so I apologize in advance if I haven't posted in the right sub-section of the forums. I have a question regarding my employment contract. As a bit of background I work for a small tech company.
The contract has a clause which indicates that I should pay the company a sum of $1X,000 for all internal training, training on the job and other training received if I quit my job before 3 years of service. I was wondering if this an enforceable by law? I haven't been sent for any formal training and its absurd that they've slapped such a ridiculous $$ amount for training on the job which I imagine happens at most work places.
I realize that I shouldn't have signed this contract but when I did a year back I was desperate for a job and there weren't too many opportunities. I'm now looking to move on but this continues to hold me back.
I'll look forward to hearing the thoughts of the members here.
Thanks!
