Breaching a Travel Contract

[GuestRN2020]

I am currently on assignment with OGP international with 1.5 years remaining in my contract. However, because of the current Covid-19 situation, feeling of isolation, unsafe practices in the hospital, etc. I am thinking of cancelling the contract from my end. Has anyone ever done this? Is the 45,000 usd payment for breaching the contract enforceable in California? I would take any personal, professional, or legal advice anyone might have. Currently, I am very desperate to go home and be with my family as I am living in the US by myself.

Hi @GuestRN2020 how did everything go? Have you successfully went home? Thinking of doing the same but from a diff agency.

Hi, haven't been able to do so because of travel restrictions everywhere, I hope you manage to sort out your situation. I'm guessing its probably easier if you haven't started your assignment as the hospital cannot enforce penalties on your agency.

I am in the same situation, but 17 weeks left, I just have to finish with them, OGP is the worst company I ever had to deal with.
