Hi all,

Recently, I have joined a consultancy for a contract-to-hire position. After working for just four days, I decided to resign from that consultancy because I received a permanent job offer. I also returned the courier client and consultancy ID card to them. I do not require any experience letter or recommendation from them. They have requested that I serve a one-month notice period, but in the offer letter, it was mentioned that if I resign or abscond within 90 days, they are entitled to recover charges incurred by the company for the Bvg verification from my Full and Final (FNF) settlement.

What should I do?

As per your terms of contact, you can resign. The same terms also state that you must pay the company the cost they have incurred in hiring you. They would adjust the same from your 4 days' salary. If that does not cover the total recovery due from you, then they may send you a letter asking you to pay the amount. If this fails, then different companies have their own methods to recover, including legal recourse.

You can wait for their letter and respond to it. Do you think you are justified to pay the amount they are asking you to pay?
