HB421

Pennsylvania HB421 prohibits employers from requiring employees to enter into training repayment agreements and voids existing ones.

Pennsylvania HB421, known as the Protect Workers from Training Repayment Agreement Provisions Act, prohibits employers from requiring employees to enter into training repayment agreements as a condition of employment. Such agreements, which require employees to pay employers or third parties if they leave employment, are void under this act. The Department of Labor and Industry is tasked with enforcing the act and may conduct investigations. Employers found in violation face civil penalties of up to $25,000 per violation, with additional penalties for subsequent violations.
