The sign-on pays out in year two and the clawback starts on day one

Blair reading the fine print

The question

Reading a friend's letter this week, because that's apparently my role now. Half at twelve months, half at twenty four, and the repayment clause is written on the full amount from the day it's signed.

So for the first year you owe money you haven't been paid yet. Mine was shaped the same way and I didn't notice, and I found out what it meant the week I wanted to leave at fourteen months.

Post yours. What did the payout schedule look like against the length of the commitment, and did anybody get those two lined up before they signed?

    Mine was worse in a quieter way. Paid up front in one check, taxed as a lump. It landed at about sixty percent. The repayment is calculated on the gross.

    Which means leaving at month eighteen would have had me paying back money that was never in my account. Nobody hid any of it. It's on the page and I read the page afterward.

What would you tell them?

Answer from what you have seen. It posts without your name.
