What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Indiana
I have worked for my current employer for about 13 months in Indiana. When I was hired I was told my job was being relocated to New Jersey which was my main reason for accepting the job in Indiana. Since, then the company has decided to keep my job in Indiana and I am leaving the company.
When hired I signed a paper that said I will pay for 70% of the relocation cost (~$10,000) if I leave the company within 14 months. Since the company canceled the reason for accepting the job, do I have to pay back the relocation expenses? I don't believe the intent of the agreement is for the company to keep me in "jail" for lack of a better term.
Thanks for your help,
Keith
