When my previous employer offered my the job, he promised me a company vehicle as I would have to be doing a lot of traveling. I accepted the job but no company vehicle. I bought a new vehicle, did do a lot of driving and was getting paid kms.
I approached my ex-employer and informed him that it would be a smarter idea if he just bought me a company vehicle or bought mine from me since the kms cost was totally the cost of the vehicle. He would consider it. I approached him again once my vehicle reached 85,000kms, and he said that we would work something out.
After some discussion, he decided that he would give me the money to pay out my loan on my truck but said that if I quit, get married or get pregnant I would have to pay the money back. I thought he was joking. There was no written agreement and no agreement on the amount of funds that would be "paid back".
After being at the company for two years, I began to recognize that I wanted my career to go in a different direction and I was not suitable for the position with the growing company. I found a new job and a suitable candidate to replace me. I informed my ex-employer that I would still work weekends and be available to help evening during the week. He said this was fine.
My last full time day there, he came into the office and told me that there was no need for me to be there, no point of me coming in on the weekends and to delete my company email AND he wanted vehicle money back.
I feel I shouldn't have to pay him back! What do you think?
