Question from Bokani, What are my options if I have a bursary contract with Vodacom but currently work at MTN?
Answer from AI:
The situation you’re describing involves a bursary contract with Vodacom and a current employment with MTN. It’s important to understand that the specifics of your situation will depend on the exact terms of your bursary contract with Vodacom and any employment contract you have with MTN.
Understanding Bursary Contracts
A bursary contract is a type of agreement where a company provides financial assistance for your education in return for a commitment to work for them for a certain period of time after graduation. However, in your case, you mentioned that the contract states you only have to work back the bursary if Vodacom extends an offer to you.
Review Your Contracts
The first step is to carefully review both your bursary contract with Vodacom and your employment contract with MTN. Look for any clauses that might affect your situation, such as:
- Conditions under which you are required to repay the bursary
- Any penalties for not accepting a job offer from Vodacom
- Any restrictions on working for a competitor (like MTN)
Seek Legal Advice
If the terms of the contracts are unclear or if you’re unsure about your obligations, it would be wise to seek legal advice. A lawyer can help you understand your rights and obligations under the contracts, and can advise you on the best course of action.
Communicate with Both Parties
It’s also important to maintain open communication with both Vodacom and MTN. If Vodacom extends a job offer to you, you may need to discuss your situation with them and explain that you’re currently employed with MTN. Similarly, you may need to discuss your bursary obligations with MTN.
