If you agreed to a sign on bonus with a 2 year vesting period, pro rated at year 1, will a firm generally chase you for 50% of the sign on bonus? Assume leaving was voluntary and on good terms.

Let's see. You agreed to something and now you want to back out of it. How about ACN says "we said 2 years but we have been really nice to you so can we make it 3 years with no penalty?"

Eh, I kinda agree with D1 after reading the thread - OP sounds like they didn't want answers, just to argue that they shouldn't have to pay back the bonus

Op has a JD from the Trump University of Contract Law. You are expected to do great things. That is why you were hired and not fired. You can gather as many anecdotes as you want, but it is black letter law. Don't try to justify your breaking a contract based on advice from a message board. Own your decision.

It just seems silly in cases where the sign on bonus is change in the big scheme of things. In my case it would be around 7.5K.

Like you said, 7.5k is nothing in the big scheme of things. So just pay it. No big deal, right?

Anyone actually have experience with this?

Not personally but know people who have left and had to pay it back

Also know someone who had to pay it back when they left but the new employer ponied up.

Try to defer your new offer until it is vested and quit with your holidays as part of your employment on the tail end so you can start earlier while technically employed (and vesting)

If they were being really nice to me wouldn't they shorten the vesting period? #stupidoldman

True... but it's a bigger deal to me than my firm.

Therefore I would like them to play nice for all the great things I did for them. Seriously though some anecdotes please.

Well that wasn't helpful (again)... and here I thought your responses were getting better. The question is whether I will be compelled via legal action vs. owning up to my decisions. I have no interest in considering the latter, but I appreciate your unsolicited thoughts in that arena.

Had a coworker who had to pay up the signing bonus with only two months left on the year-long contract

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
