I've just been offered a new job, within the contract there is a training contract for the company to recover the training costs in the event of me passing the training, but leaving the company within 18 months of doing so (on a sliding scale). I fully expected this to be the case, but the estimated cost of training stated in the contract is significantly higher than I expected. The training would cover the first month of my employment.
Last week I received confirmation from the company that this was calculated as the direct cost of training plus my salary and benefits during the training period. so around 60% of the amount due back to the company would be for my salary rather than the training itself.
Is the company allowed to recover all of these costs? It certainly feels like a red flag to me.
