Good day guys

I am currently employed on my first job and would like to have an advice on my contract and the verbal agreement we had.

First this is my first job and i don't know much about verbal agreements or contracts.

The company that hired me gives technical services, all employees are deployed.

I was hired on october 19,2009.

I have a contract with my employed company in which there is no indication of any bond or how long my employment is.

After a month or two of being employed, i was informed i was going to be sent for trainings and was told that i will have a bond for 2 or 3 years.

I was sent to two trainings.

My question now is if i resign, will i be liable for anything? especially the verbally agreed training?

If it has any weight i would also like to point out that in my contract there was stated that there "meal and transportation allowance" which after 1 month when i asked the company owner about that, he said that the meal and transportation allowance if for Over Time, in the contract there was no line stating that

Thanks for all those who would take their time to read this and give advice

let me put it this way, if there is no written agreement regarding the bond, then when they file a case against you for resigning, they will be in a very difficult position how to prove there was such an agreement if you deny it.

if you are field worker, you are entitled to the allowance in lieu of overtime.

Sir attyLLL

Thank you very much, reading your answer has really made my day. Especially after what I have been experiencing for the past months.

Follow up questions,

This is the last 2 lines in my employment package (they only put some space for me to sign then it became the contract)

7) Travel Allowance PhP 800 per diem for out of town assignments (excluding transportation expenses which shall be covered by the company)

Cool Meal and Transportation Allowance PhP 150 for first 3 hours; Php 50 for each succeeding hour

Are they committing a crime by telling me that the "Meal and Transportaion Allowance" is for ot only? thus I can resign without notice?

I saw this in the dole website.

Art. 285. Termination by employee.

b. An employee may put an end to the relationship without serving any notice on the employer for any of the following just causes:

1. Serious insult by the employer or his representative on the honor and person of the employee;

2. Inhuman and unbearable treatment accorded the employee by the employer or his representative;

3. Commission of a crime or offense by the employer or his representative against the person of the employee or any of the immediate members of his family; and

4. Other causes analogous to any of the foregoing.

Thanks

field employees are not entitled to overtime. instead they are given meal allowance. there's no violation here.
