Your colleague needs legal advice. I guess it depends upon
how difficult you employer wants to be but I guess it is legally binding
whether written or verbal. There is something more here though, in my
opinion, morality. You agree to the terms so why not fulfill them.
If I was an employer I would also be looking at recovering not only the fees
but the additional cost of release from work. Try telling your bank that ‘
thanks but I have changed my mind now so shove it!’ No matter what
your relationship is with your employer is basically what happens in these
situations and it leaves a very bad taste all round. I have known new
employers agree to meet these costs as part of the employment package.
