Hi Mona,
The way this legal document is drafted it has certain discrepancies:
Please verify the following queries :
1. Tenure of this agreement: Here the tenure of this agreement is not clear if it is minimum 12 months or is it valid throughout your service tenure say 2-3 years with the organization.
2. Does this agreement lapses after 12 months?
3. What happens if the employer terminates your services unilaterally ?
Agree this is one sided agreement wherein the company is protecting its interests vis a vis the investment on training.
Regarding the enforceability - please let me the answers to the above 3 points.
