8 months ago i joined a small consulting company, in the contract its stated that I would work for them for a period of one year at least so they could recover the costs of training me. Now most of the traning comprised of me sitting at home and reading up stuff from books and manuals and things like that, but i guess they could still call that training. A month ago I got an oppourtunity to join another company. I gave my previous employer 11 days notice before I left. I know its not the usual 2 weeks but I had no choice as things happened kinda quickly. My question is, is it legal for my employer to withhold paying me my salary for any reason? recovering training costs or breach of the one year contract (the contract has no terms of breakage which seems weired to me.) or for not giving em the 2 weeks notice?
sorry if this seems like the wrong forum for it, didnt know where to put it.
