Any suggestion is appreciated. Thanks

Clawback clause in current contract: been in role for over 2 yrs, it was an internal move that required relocation.

I got small relocation package. Would internal move be subject to a buy-out/clawback clause if I leave now and if yes, is it time in role or time under new contract? Any experience? Thanks!
