Thanks so much!

Check the handbook / policy for your specific firm. There typically isn’t clawback.

Agree. Typically no clawback, but the firm may require you to be there for a period of time (e.g., one year) prior to being eligible to take leave.

I don’t think there’s clawback for Pat/mat leave.

There absolutely can be depending on the employer. Happened to a friend of mine.

V50 here and there is a 90 day or 3 month period that you have to stay at the firm post-leave or will be subject to a clawback which is very much enforced…

Thanks!

Every firm has a different policy - check your handbook

like

The clawback is not established by law, it would be a policy in your company’s handbook or stand alone policies. There may be a limit on how long a company can legally set a clawback period, but the applicable period itself that your company set would not be established by California law.
