What is the name of your state? CA
I recently left my previous employer before one year (worked there for 8 months). HR checked me out and I got my last paycheck. Just recently, they called me up asking for their $7500 signing bonus back in full since I didn't work there one year. I did sign a form on my first day of employment.
So do I really need to pay back the signing bonus? If so, do I really need to pay back the whole amount of $7500? They took out state and federal taxes, social security, medicare, and CA SDI, so I really didn't get the full $7500. However, they want the full $7500 back? Isn't there something illegal about that with me paying tax on $7500 which I'm giving back? I can't get back the social security, medicare, and CA SDI.
