Usually it’s voluntary departure only
Typically no; typically yes
Depends on agreement. “Separation for any reason”/ “Separation for cause”- You pay if fired. “You choose to terminate your employment” - You don’t pay if fired or laid off. Lay offs likely depends. Might be able to negotiate that with severance
On a related note...something I've always wondered is if you do have to pay it back, how exactly does that work? Say you have a 10k sign on bonus and receive something like 6500-7k after taxes...how does the company recoup the full 10k? I assume it just becomes a write off at some point and they show they only retracted the after tax amount back out of your account but wasn't totally sure.
You’d pay back post tax, they’d adjust their tax withholding to reflect the reduced liability. I’d imagine 401k or pension components (if applicable) would be considered unvested too and reclaimed.
