Hey guys,
I am just putting together a contract of employment for the staff; I'd like to put a clause in there to cover my back on training costs - I see it that if I'm going to spend money on training courses for them that I'm investing in their future, so if they then left straight away it would mean they'd be liable for so much of the cost... I'm just sick of being nieve lol & I think it's about time I put some things in to writing!
What do you think of the following? I'd love to hear suggestions of anything you do in your salons maybe?
"Please note, where a training course would cost the company over £50.00, we consider this an investment in your personal career and future, so we would expect you to stay as an employee of our company for at least 6 months after completion of the training course. If the course would cost over £450.00, we would expect you to stay as an employee of our company for at least 9 months after completion of the training course. Should this not be the case and you chose to leave the company by any means before this period of time ended, or been dismissed from the company through the methods of disciplinary action (including verbal warning, written warning and dismissal) or been instantly dismissed due to gross misconduct (very serious cases) this will mean that you would then be liable to pay 66.6% of the total cost of the training course, this could be deducted from any money owed to you upon leaving (i.e. holiday pay, working notice pay, etc) and would be documented"
