That is a very interesting document you have posted and highlights my earlier opinion about how I think £25k over 5 years is unreasonable. A very interesting observation is the fact that many of these 'bonds' are now loans that the individual signs up for. If the company goes bust you end up with no job and have to pay the loan back. This really is unfair practice and I think all you job seekers should write to BALPA if you are members to express your concerns and your local MP, highlighting the facts and showing them the document from Canada.
