What is the name of your state? Illinois
I accepted a job with my current employer and was moved from Georgia to Illinois. About 60 days after I arrived, the job that I accepted was eliminated as a result of a business reorganization. I was offered a different position within the company, but am not sure that I am interested. Our relocation policy states "Should you voluntarily terminate your employment with "Company X" or be involuntarily terminated for cause within one (1) year of your relocation, all relocation expenses incurred on your behalf must be repaid to the company. These expenses will be prorated from the start date of your new position until your last date of employment at "Company X".
My question is can I be required to pay back the relocation if I do not accept the new job? Keeping in mind that although the paragraph above is in the policy, I never signed a relocation agreement. Any advice is appreciated.
