17 mins aliquot, but . . .
Explanation:
The term exists in English and Webster's defines it as "designating a part of a number that divides the number evenly and leaves no remainder [8 is an aliquot part of 24]. Transferred to your context, I think they're trying to say that the employee would be liable for reimbursing the employer the costs of the training program applicable to the part s/he did not stay for rounded up to the amount that would be an exact divisor of the costs, i.e. if the applicable amount were 450 of 2000, the employee would have to pay 500. Of course, the "aliquot" part might also refer to the time spent in training and the costs relative to that time. Hopefully somebody else can confirm my answer or offer a better suggestion, but at least it's a start. Whatever the case, I don't think I would the word "aliquot" itself.
