My employer has just won a contract which requires all employees to undergo site inductions, training and medicals before work can commence.
My employer has now asked that we all sign a document/letter which states, we will quote, "understand and agree that the training, medical and induction costs for the xxxxx job we are currently preparing for are repayable in full to employer if I leave or if my position is terminated in the next 12 months. I understand that this would be done on a pro rata basis..."
The costs of the above would be above $1000 + hourly rates for time spent.
Should I sign it? is it legal under employment law? Can someone help?
Thanks
