I voluntarily left my company. I had taken about $2400 in Tuition assistance - TA (something I considered a benefit.) On the company TA for it does state that after receiving the TA, a commitment to the company for 1 year would be necessary or the TA would have to be repaid.
My question is, how legally binding is the TA form? My last partial paycheck for $1700 was already withheld and now the company states I owe them an additional $700.
I live in Rhode Island but worked for the company in Connecticut. The company home office is in Maryland.
I would obviously rather not pay the $700 because I felt the TA was a benefit of being an employee of the company. I figured if there was a chance to not pay, great, otherwise I would give in to avoid any further problems. To be honest, because the company is relatively large, I would hope they would just write the remainder off. Wishful thinking on my part.
