More companies charging employees for job training if they quit

When a Washington state beauty salon charged Simran Bal $1,900 for training after she quit, she was shocked.

The practice, which critics call Training Repayment Agreement Provisions, or TRAPs, is drawing scrutiny from US regulators and lawmakers.On Capitol Hill, Sen. Sherrod Brown is studying legislative options with an eye toward introducing a bill next year to rein in the practice, a Senate Democratic aide said.

At the state level, attorneys general like Minnesota’s Keith Ellison are assessing how prevalent the practice is and could update guidance.“Employers are looking for ways to keep their workers from quitting without raising wages or improving working conditions,” said Harris. One critic of the CFPB effort was the National Federation of Independent Business, or NFIB, which said the issue was outside the agency’s authority because it was unrelated to consumer financial products and services.

But, she said, the salon owner was slow to schedule the trainings, which would sometimes be postponed or canceled. They were also not informative; Bal described them as “introductory level.” While waiting to complete the training, Bal worked at the front desk, which paid less.“She was charging me for training for services that I was already licensed in,” said Bal.REUTERS

Well some law firms need to take up a class action on that for the reason for providing training is SELF-SERVING

LMAO

Charge this a**hole

I don’t blame them. Job training is very expensive these days. One week training $5K to $7K
