How is your Breach of Contract Fee?

[jamx551]

For nurses who have contract with their current employer, I appreciate your input.

I would like to resign from my current Employer which is a Nursing Agency but my cancellation fee or breach of contract is equivalent to 1-year gross Salary which is atleast $45,000 .. this doesnt yet include according their contract the fees they incurred during the immigration process etc.. so more or less we projected this to be about $50,000.. We are very upset about their system which doesnt protect and take care of us nurses so Im on a end of the rope now and going to resign.. So do you think this fine is just enough?

How much then is your breach of contract fee?

(I heard some or my nurse friends.. some of them are around $5,000, $10,000 but not more than $15,000)

is my nursing agency being reasonable?

Moderators: Im sorry if this is not the right forum, can you please move my thread to the appropriate forum. thanks!

The ones that have a $45,000 cancellation fee...........they know who they are and have increased their fees because so many have wanted to leave them. And I am sure that they never got that approved by US Immigration, and that is something that needs to be done.

Any of you with high cancellation fees like this need to submit the contract to US Immigration, as well as the US Embassy for your country. This is the only way that something can be done about agencies that do this. Even the Attorney General for the state where they are based, or have their headquarters.
