Well you're pleasant. I stated we are willing to pay back the fees regarding the visa and permit because that is what is in Cambodian law, that the employer is entitled to damages incurred. Fine. Our issue is with the clause regarding paying them a month's salary back. I got my own job/visa sorted ...

You can't expect an employer to cough up serious money for paperwork you can use elsewhere too and then run off after a week because it suits you and the place is a disorganized shit hole in your opinion.

I might not have mentioned it actually but we were always willing to pay that back, no problem. You (conveniently?) didn't mention they paid for the paperwork / visa, nor did you mention the intention to reimburse the school, but this is a game changer of course.

Shame they won't be getting their corruption money then

My gut feeling tells me the one month punishment only is activated after the probation period. The employer guarantees two years of work (OK, 21 months after probation) but wants a security in return too. The full contract with all its' obligations should only start after said probation. That’s wha...
