    Default Breaking an Employment Agency Contract

    I live in Texas and I accepted a position with a company through a local agency. When I accepted the job the agency hadme sign a letter stating that I was accepting the position for a certain salary and that the fee for my placement was being paid by the company that is hiring me. The letter further states that if I leave the job on my own accord within 365 days, I would have to pay back a pro-rated portion of the fee. However, after two weeks on the job, I can see that I made a mistake in taking this job and will not be happy here and would like to resign.

    Does anyone know if these type of contract have a grace period for situations such as this and what recourse can I take. I am exteremly unhappy here and I also do not wish to waste my new employers time; as they could re-hire or promote someone to take my place.

    Default Re: Employment Agency Contract

    All contracts aren't written exactly the same & we can't see the contract. It could be enforceable. Your best bet is to have a contract attorney or an employment law attorney review it to see if it is enforceable or not. If it has a grace period, I would think that would be in the contract.
