Breach in contract with AVANT HEALTHCARE

Published

Specializes in ICU.

Dear all,

I was wondering if anyone has experience with breaching contract with an agency.

I have signed up with AVANT this May to hopefully move to USA next year to work as RN.

(FYI, I am currently an RN working in South Korea, specialty ICU, 8 years of experience)

I have received email from AVANT that USCIS has sent a RFE this August and has not returned with any replies since.

Some personally issues came up and which holds me back from moving over.

The contract does not specify how much I would be paying as penalty and I was wondering if anyone could give me a ballpark on how much they would be expecting me to pay for the services they have provided.

Anything comment will be great help! Sincerely

Did you send an email with to your recruiter. They are very responsive to emails lkme within 48 hours.explain to them your situation. Maybe ur contract might be on hold until your situation is resolved. Otherwise you may bave to pay back thousands. Hope this helps

Hello I did breach. It took Avant a few weeks to add up my total. They allow u up to 12 months to pay in deposits. They added up my total by (hours remaining x5)

Once u pay back you receive a certificiate of completion.

May we know by chance if, How much was the total cost of it?

I am also contemplating about buying out my contract with them.

If for example I had 6000 hours. I worked 3000 and had 3000 remaining I would have had  to pay 15,000 USD over a period of 12 months. Ask for a discount if your paying in full.

However , I am not sure how much it is now. There is a new CEO of the company.

I see,  are there any charges aside paying the number of hours?  Appreciate the info. This is very helpful. Thank you so much. My contract is 5200 hours and probably consumed 2000plus hours only. However, I wanted to buy out the contract this year due to personal reasons.

I paid only the amount requested at that time for the hours owed on the contract. I received 10% off at that time also for paying in full.

Well, That's not bad. I was expecting if the cost will take up to 40-60k usd. 

thank you so much.
