OK, here is the question - the job offer is explicit that the sign-on bonus is only earned if one stays with the company for a year. THere is also another statement saying that if one voluntarily leaves before the one year anneversary, then the unearned portion is repayable. The emphasis here is on "unearned"
Now, based on what's written above we can concude the following
- the bonus is NOT repayable in a case of a layoff (emphasis on voluntarily)
- the bonus is NOT is repayable if one leaves voluntarily, but it is prorated (emphasis on the word unearned)
What are your thoughts? Am I understanding this correctly?
