What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Georgia
I'm working for a company I no longer wish to work for because of their very sketchy business practice.
I'm currently in mandatory paid training. I'm being paid 7.25 /hour and I signed a "Tuition repayment" agreement stating that if I quit or am fired with cause within the next two years I will be obligated to pay back a total of $10,000 for the training I'm receiving.
My question is, is this agreement enforceable? This is mandatory training, and it's being taught by an employee of the company. It's a 6 week training course and we reach the end of it Monday. It doesn't even seem like a legitimate class, as my supervisor told me "This is the opportunity to develop the skills you need to become self sufficient on a project", in other words we're required to teach ourselves the concepts during training with our trainee showing up only present slides and the assignment for that day.
Thank you for any insight.
