I signed payback clauses for some firm benefits over the past few years. My pay back period is not up but I am wondering if anyone has experience negotiating out of this pay back?

Not to mention if you agreed to do something and you break that contract you’re of poor moral character. Just my opinion....

What leverage do you have if you are leaving the firm?

You'll have to stay longer, and even then I doubt they'll do it, but you can give them that at least

Through rumors I have heard that it’s too much of an administrative hassle for companies so they use it as a deterrent but don’t bother enforcing it

I had a previous employer pay for most of my MBA. They didn't want to honor their policy and so pushed a long clawback clause. When I left I stated some of my grievances about the unique restrictions they gave me and walked. They did come after me for it but we ended up settling for about 60% of the cost.

It all depends on how much you would owe, what is the cost in time and money for them to come after it and whether or not you have any legitimate reasons to not honor he contract. Because ultimately you agreed to the contract when you accepted the benefit and terms.

I've heard these being forgotten about so many times. I don't think they'll chase u

A bit salty there D1

I know of PwC coming after sponsorship. Not sure about sign on

Not salty OP just starting a fact. It amounts to theft if you don’t work off the obligation or pay the pro-rated amount back.

I never implied I wouldn’t pay it back. Was just curious if anyone had ever NOT had to pay it back due to any extenuating circumstances.

You have to negotiate prior to exit so there are no surprises when you leave

Hi fishes,
I'm 22 and planning to take a life insurance. I'm comparing all policies and max life seems attractive as it has good claim settlement ratio and less premiums. But there is no office near our area. My worry is that if there is a need to claim in future, it can be done all online by my nominee? Is it recommended to take policy online in any platform(like policybazaar)?
Other options I'm considering are SBI life, HDFC life which offices are available in my locality.
Please guide
