My employer has recently changed my job description and in addition to managing Health and Safety I am now the environmental officer.
Having identified the courses that I need it will cost my employer £2600 to train me. My employer wants me to sign a contract that will tie me to my job until Oct 2009, or I pay the money back to them. Having said NO and refused to sign. I would like opinions from you good people on the validity of training contracts for H/S and Enviro training, specifically for those who manage those tasks on a full time basis in accordance with the Management regs, reg 7.

This has been raised on this forum in the past, unfortunately I cannot remember the title.
However from what you have stated this is related directly to your role and therefore I should think that Sec 2(2)(c)HASWA74 (the provision of such information, instruction, training and supervision as is necessary to ensure the health and safety at work of employees) is appropriate.
I take it that other persons in the company, for example the receptionist is trained in how to operate the switchboard, but is not expected to pay back any training costs (time etc) as it is for the benefit of the company.
I would be interested to see the opinions of others to this thread, as I believe it will be quite illuminating.
