What is a Training cost recovery on resignation letter?

A Training cost recovery on resignation letter is a letter that an employer sends to an employee who has resigned, informing them of the company's policy regarding the recovery of training costs incurred by the company for the employee's training and development.

In some cases, an employer may have invested in an employee's training or development, such as paying for a course or professional qualification, and may have a policy that requires the employee to repay some or all of the training costs if they leave the company within a certain period of time.

The Training cost recovery on resignation letter typically outlines the specific amount of training costs that the company is seeking to recover from the employee, and the payment terms and conditions. The letter may also provide information on the employee's legal rights in relation to the recovery of training costs and any deductions from their final pay.

Dear [Recipient first name],

We are in receipt of your letter of resignation dated [date] and note that you have given [one month's] notice to terminate your employment with us. That means that your contract of employment will terminate on [date].

[In accordance with clause [number] of your contract of employment/Under the agreement that you entered into on [date] ], a copy of which is attached, [Company] requires you to repay the cost of training on [details] if you leave employment during the training or during a specified period after the training has ended.

[In your case, the relevant training [is still taking place/took place on [dates of training], so the termination of your employment is within [one month/three months] of the date of completion of the training. This means that [Company] is entitled to recover the full training costs of £[amount] from you.]

[OR

In your case, the relevant training [took place on [dates of training], so the termination of your employment is within [one month/three months] of the date of completion of the training. This means that [Company] is entitled to recover a percentage of the training costs from you. The total amount of the training was £[amount]. This means that the organisation is entitled to recover £[amount] from you.]

[We believe that the best way to proceed would be for [Company] to exercise its [contractual right/right under the agreement that you entered into on [date]] to recover the amount in a single instalment by way of a direct payment from you. As a result, we propose to deduct the sum of £[amount] from your final salary payment to reflect the recovery of these costs.]

[As your final salary payment will not be sufficient to meet the full amount owed, we require you to repay the outstanding balance of £[amount] to us within [one month] of the date of termination of your employment.]

[OR

As the total amount of the repayment required under the [organisation's contractual right/agreement that you entered into on [date] ] is significant, we suggest that we recover this sum from you in instalments, with the first payment taken from your final salary payment, followed by a series of direct payments from you at the rate of £[amount] per [week/month] from [week/month of first repayment] to [week/month of last repayment]. We have set out a proposed repayment schedule below.

If you agree, please sign and return one copy of this letter as soon as possible and in any event by no later than [date] to [name] and arrange for the payments to be made to [details of Company's bank account].]

If you wish to discuss any aspect of this letter, for example possible alternative means of repaying the amount owed, please do not hesitate to contact [name].
