What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
I had previously worked for a car dealership as a technician. They signed me up for some classes that I had to take and made me sign a non-compete agreement. The pay here was not very high and this past weekend I found out I was going to be a father for the first time. My previous boss had called me out of the blue and offered me my old job back which I had accepted due to the higher pay. Now my question is I didn't notice before on the non compete agreement that it said I had to reimburse them for my pay I received while at training. Is that even legal? I don't mind paying the travel, lodging, and training expenses. But for me to pay back my salary while there seems unethical.
