What is the name of your state? CA / AZ
I was working for a company in CA (1.5 years with company) and just moved to AZ (2 months ago). I kept my job and was working from my house, but was fired for not agreeing to a new reporting structure that included a clause that stated, "Failure to report once per week will result in a 20% reduction of commission for that month."
I am not upset about being fired....but have a question on the agreement below that I signed when I started employment.
IS this enforceable? The way I read it says if the employee LEAVES for any reason then I would have to pay. I was fired...I did not quit.
What does everyone else think?
Training Fee Summary Agreement
( Sales & Marketing Positions ):
This is an agreement by and between “COMPANY A”, Inc. and ___EMPLOYEE___, that states the following:
While being employed with “COMPANY A”,______EMPLOYEE___ will be trained in certain aspects of a wholesale business that have been developed over the years by “COMPANY A” at a substantial cost both in time and in money. It is agreed that the above has a value and therefore should ___EMPLOYEE____ leave “COMPANY A” for any reason and decide to go into a similar field ( wholesale distribution of same/similar products as “COMPANY A” ) then ___EMPLOYEE____ will agree to pay “COMPANY A” $50,000.00 prior to employment, partnership or sole proprietorship for it's training , due and payable on the first date of entering the industry, the debt will also be the responsibility of the new employer as well. If ____EMPLOYEE____ decides to enter this field after 24 months from the date of departure with “COMPANY A” then the training fee will be waived.
I have read the above and agree and acknowledge to all the terms and conditions.
Signed _EMPLOYEE___
I am planning on starting my own company (doing the same thing) and am trying to figure out if this is a liability for me.
Thanks again everyone....this is one of the best websites out there that really helps people.
