Forced to Leave Due to Illness During Training: How Can I Handle the Training Bond Issue?

Hello, I was in this company for one week due to sudden nose bleeding, and they advised me to be sent home. I was asked to send a medical certificate, and I did. It stated it was a viral infection, and I got a reprieve. Then, after a week of reprieve, I experienced a toothache. I went to the dental clinic after my shift and rested for the whole day. When I woke up, my face was swelling, and the pain was unbearable. I went back to the clinic to get checked and got a medical certificate, which I sent to the company, and they agreed.

After that, I was forced to leave the company because I was absent the whole time, despite providing a medical certificate. There is also a training bond. What should I do?

If these things had happened in India, I would suggest just forgetting about the bond since you did not receive any training. However, I am unsure about what will happen in other countries.

It is suggested that you apply for medical leave with the SSS and submit the complete medical records for evaluation of your payment. If your condition persists, the company has the right to terminate your service and pay all the necessary fees according to the Labor Code regarding sickness law.
