Can an employer ask you to return the bonus that you received because you resign few days after the payout. There was nothing mentioned in the agreement or policy? Is this even legal?

Bonus for the previous year not for upcoming so no they should not

No, they cannot ask for it back. You need to be employed on the day of the payout.

like

Not necessarily. Depending the plan specs.

If they're asking it back then it must've been in the fine print, but if it 100% didn't mention any of that, you could potentially disagree and refer to the agreement

Read your employment agreement. Maybe there’s a clawback provision.

Already checked and nothing, I’m just anticipating if there is a likelihood and possibility.

Is this a thing or hypothetical?

Hypothetically.

This is most likely not legal. Double check any agreements to make sure the clawback isn’t in the fine print. I once quit on the day of the payout and was able to keep it so not sure why the employer is doing this to you.

Please someone tell me as well- how does this work as I was told if I leave then I have to pay it back but I did not see any paperwork stating this and I left today.

Question for funds folks, since no one is around to answer any questions and I can't seem to find this answer anywhere. Why can't a placement agent combine or integrate the offering of interests in the sponsor's fund with the contemporaneous offering of interests in another fund? Is it based on reputational risk or from a sales perspective in case someone rejects both funds, any other issues? Thanks!
