We will see what the lawyer says, but I can see either me having a case, or the company having to force the contract (retro) on every person who ever broke it. (Which I have proof that they haven't as of yet) I'm sure that will fix their recruitment problems once that hits the streets. keep us posted on how much it costs you to do that . Why dont you see if you can do a class action ...might save you some $ . |

People sign a training contract and then bash Republic for enforcing it when they bail 6 months later? What do you expect? If I was BB I'd sell it to a collection agency and let them deal with it.
Have other people gotten away without paying it previously and you expected to not have to pay if if you left early? If that's the case you may not have much to stand on. :confused: |

Hate to drag this one back up, but wouldn't the fact that they are selectively choosing who to enforce them on (if it is true that people in the past didn't have them enforced upon them) be a big legal obstacle?

How much is RAH's training contract for and for how long. Does the contract start form the date you get hired/begin training or from when you pass sim check or IOE?
Thanks in advance. |

The OP and anyone else that is getting tagged with this letter should be able to get out of paying it. The company doesn't have any legal authority to arbitrarily attempt to recoup pay out of necessity, slow times, more organized, etc. If the company has missed sending this letter to a large group of individuals, which it sounds like they have, then there is precedent on the desire to enforce the terms of the contract.
Had the company been diligent in trying to recoup from everyone equally from the start, then they would have more legal grounds to recoup now. I would still contact a lawyer to handle correspondence but I would be shocked if any legal entity would enforce such a shoddy and arbitrary attempt at recouping training costs when it's been convenient for them. |

So by your logic, in the past the local highway patrol has not always enforced the speed limit (by allowing some drivers to travel up to 5 or 6 mph over the limit), and as such, are no longer permitted to give me a ticket for going 70 in a 65 zone?
Past precedence is a very important topic when it comes to contract law. If RAH has a past precedence of selective and/or punitive enforcement of its training contract and it can be proven, that will be powerful evidence for having the contract ruled invalid. |
There was an attorney in a class at S5, his opinion, FWIW, was that the "contract" wasn't worth the paper it was printed on for a variety of reasons not the last if which IIRC was the form of how it was drawn up, which I gather in Promissory Notes is right important. All that being said, I'm just going off memory of what he said in the break room at the training center. Consult an attorney, see what answer you get, and post it back here; it'll be interesting to see what comes of it all.
