I've signed a contract with a locally owned language centre, and one of the clauses states that if I breach the contract I must pay 1000 JD to the employer. They explained that this is to prevent teachers from leaving on short notice (one month notice is required in this contract).
Does anyone know what happens if I do breach the contract — if I am only able to give 2 or 3 weeks notice due to a new job or if they claim that I breach the contract for some other reason.
A) Is this money collectable?
B) Is it collectable without investigation or proof, just the institute's word against mine?
Thanks!
