No but if it's in your contract they can claim back the money they paid training you.

Yes they can if it is in your contract, however, many HR departments (in my experience) don't bother following it up after you leave. I am in the same position but older and wiser colleagues have advised me that if I change jobs my new employer would probably pick up the tab (although don't mention it until you are quite far down the line....or get them to agree to a similar contract - in a sense passing the buck - and then do the same again if you move before 3 years is up. Another way around it would be to ask the new employer to pay you enough to cover paying off the costs of the training, this might be split over severall years, say it was £6,000, you could ask for an extra £2,000 a year to pay off the tuition and get a loan for the full amount. Hopefully your HR department is as rubbish as mine and won't actually chase you for it.

WELL this is an important question and totally depends from sitution to sitution
if they have paid for your traning and if you have signed an contract or agreement with him then he have full rights to force u to stay back
but
in the case that you have not signed any document or cortract saying that you have to do this job for a stipulated time then there is no need that you have to get forced by him
you can take your own decission
and third option is just quit and wait for the results
many employers dont go into the forcing and legal part
that is how it works

NO. Unless of course it is written in your contract, but even if it was you have every right to leave your employment with written notification. If any problems persist then contact the Human Resources department who will be able to help you further.
:D

If it's in your contract, however you could break your contract which my force them to sack you but it wont help when you are looking for another job, difficult situation to be in, Good Luck.

Yes, it's a contract. Or you can pay them back.

If you signed something before the training, i.e. it was conditional.
