hi, I need an advice about this.
I went awol from my training which is a call center and I was still on traning (3rd week)
after a month I received a letter saying that they want me to pay P7.5k as liquidated damages for backing out from traning or failing to finish the training
and if I fail to pay the said amount they told me that they will seek legal assistance of the proper court for relief.
btw the contract i signed is not notarized
I dont know if that is really important.
will i get sued for this?
heres what exactly what the contract i signed says.
