What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? TX
I received tuition reimbursement from my employer in 2009. I never received nor signed a promissory note. I was aware of it, but it was never provided to me. HR sent me a copy of the promissory agreement that should have been sent initially.
The only documents I signed were those which indicated the courses I intended on taking. Our overall policy states that payback should occur if I left the company before 12 months time.
Legally...not ethically...do I have to pay this back? Can my employer garnish my accrued vacation time and final paycheck? I am going to do the right thing, but I am not going to be bullied. Thoughts? Concerns?
