Hello
I have a friend working for a small telecom up in north Colorado, when he was hired on he was offered and given paid for training ($14,000 worth) In their rules it stated if he quit he would have to pay it back. Now the company is revising their rules so that if he is fired also he would have to pay it and he has to resign the new handbook.
The company is having many financial problems right now and he feels they are doing it so they can get out of paying for his education.
Is this a common practice for companies and is it legal? Is his best bet to not sign and just take a termination before he binds himself to those rules?
Thanks guys
