Trainee study contract

I'm currently on a trainee contract which include study allowance but want to leave the company but study clause says I have to stay for a year after they make payment or they can take it back.

Does a year start from when they pay the college or 6 months after When you do exam? Contract doesn't make clear wanted to get some views.

  • If a contract is not clear, then it would be open to interpretation in court. Therefore, if I was in your position, I would take it to mean from when they paid for the course.

    You have stated in your first paragraph "study clause says I have to stay for a year after they make payment" so you have kind of already answered your question.....:D
  • yeah I would say it is most likely a year after the training has finished
    The Googlewhacker referance is to Dave Gorman and not to my opinion of the search engine!

    If I give you advice it is only a view and always always take professional advice before acting!!!

    I would agree - this is the most common condition.
