That is very unusual in the US. I have never done that, actually, as the
employer should be the one to pay. Have a lawyer look at the agreement for
you if you really want the job. I doubt seriously they would advise you to
sign that without significant changes.

Jobs are not in that short supply right now. And, Richard, you have great
skills. I don't think you have to pay to get a job!

My $.02.

Hi all:

An agency just email me an employment agreement to sign with two unusual
clauses:

1.) I agree to pay the agency $2000 if I sign the agreement and then
change my mind and do not show up to start work.

2.) I agree to pay the agency $2000 if I leave the contract job before it
is scheduled to be completed.

Have you had any experiences with employment agreement clauses like
such? Thoughts?

Thanks,

Richard Lewis
