Employment Bond

Good day! I am currently working on Training program of a known bank. On the contract, we have to render 2 years of service to the bank if not we'll be paying 200k for the training bond. I am planning to go already and I'm still a trainee and been in the company for around 2 months only. I already talked to our HR about me leaving due to family reasons. Is there a way I won't be paying the 200k. Thank you!

just render 30 days.. it's your choice not to pay the bond.. the company might withhold your last pay and your clearance and they might go after you for damages.

I was told na if mag resign ako, same pa rin po yung babayaran ko. So the choice is to pay or AWOL. May laban po ba sa korte if AWOL ang status?

thanky you!

Can they file a warrant of arrest because of this?

nope walang warrant of arrest. Civil action lang ito

Since there is an agreement that you have to work there for 2 years under the penalty of damages, pwede nila i-enforce yung sinasabi mong agreement laban sayo. https://www.alburovillanueva.com/contracts But it is still up to them if they will really file a legal action against you. Maaabala din kasi sila, and there are required filing fees to be paid in court. Pakiramdaman mo yung company mo, then kung sa tingin mo naman wala silang history na nagdedemanda just to enforce the training bond, then there is lesser risk na idedemanda ka nila.

Thank you very much with your responses po. Big help.

I signed a contract training agreement and I change my mind. Hindi pa ako nagstart ng work but ininform ko na yung company na hindi ako tutuloy. Pwede po ba mavoid yung contract? Nagbiometrics na din ako at nag issue na sila ng ID. Does that mean na empleyado na nila ako kasi nag issue na sila ng ID and Biometrics?

yes employed ka na. you should file a resignation.

So, I need to file resignation ASAP?

I disagree, if you havent started work, you are not yet an employee. Send a written notice that you are backing out and give back what you received.

Thank you po.

Good day po, ako po ay nagtatrabaho bilang isang junior software engineer. Nag apply po ako via jobstreet. Nainbitahan, nag interview, nagkatrabaho. Ang contract ko po ay may bond na 180k para sa training na napasukan ko. Ang company po ay registered sa singapore pero may office sila dito sa Pilipinas. Nag search ako sa lahat ng website s na nag didisplay ng registered companies sa pilipinas pero d ko makita ang company ko.
Ang tanong ko po legal po bang maituturing ang cash bond kung d naman rehistrado sa pilipinas?
Balak ko po kasing umalis dahil sa tingin ko ay nalalabag ang aking karapatan.

ang contrata ay legal kasi ito ang kasunduan mo at ng kumpanya.

kung alam mo SEC number ng kumpanya mo pwede mo siya i search sa SEC website.

Gud day po,I want to ask for advise for my daughter,she is new graduate and this is her first work,the company is a foreign company operating in the phils.She signed a probationary contract for 6 months and she is on her 2nd month. She wants to resign now but is afraid because it was stated in the last part of her probationary contract that there is a bond of 150t to cover the expenses of the company for training in the event that her employment is terminated for due cause within the period of 2 years or shorter from the effectivity of regularization or if she resign within the same period. Applicable na ba sa kanya yung bond kahit hindi pa sya regular employee?

yes if training was given.

Actually po yung 6 months ay almost training lang daw talaga wala pang actual work.Any idea how she could leave that company without paying the bond.
