Is this reasonable?

I've have known people who have had this clause, although I don't, and they normally have it with a pro-rata (?) weighting so after 1 year you'd have to pay back 50% after 18 months 25% etc ...

Whether I agree with it .... to an extent although I think that it should be 1 year not 2.

These will be my terms:

·Full refund of xxx's contribution to training costs recoverable in the event that the employee leaves within 9 months of last day of training.

·75% refund of xxx's contribution to training costs recoverable in the event that the employee leaves between 9 and 18 months of last day of training.

·50% refund of xxx's contribution to training costs recoverable in the event that the employee leaves between 18 and 24 months of last day of training.

Any room to negotiate? Those terms seem excessive.
