Hi,

Was wondering if anyone had any experience of/advice on the following?

7 months prior to BR, I signed a study agreement to say that if I would pay back money for a course if I left the organisation before a certain time period. At the time, I had no idea I would end up BR.

So, 15 months on, I am leaving the company (no alternative as being victimised at work) and now they want the money back. I've spoken to the OR who says it can be included in my BR as it is similar to a buy now pay later type of agreement and I had no idea I would be going BR when I signed it. This is a huge relief.

However, I was wondering, is my employer allowed to deduct money from my salary towards reclaiming this money? I have a sneaky suspicion that I will have a final salary of 0 and if so is this allowed?

I would be grateful for anyone's input.

Many thanks, I really am grateful for all the help I have received on this board!

If the OR has agreed that this amount can be included in your BR then your employer is legally obliged to agree with this decision. The OR is acting on behalf of the court when it comes to your BR.

Has your employer indicated that they would take this amount out of your wages? If so, then I would ask the OR for written confirmation from them saying that the amount is included in your BR and give this to your employer.
