Question The company I worked for paid me quarterly bonuses for performance but the bonuses are based on the final performance of the entire team for the whole year. The final calculation determines whether you get even more bonus or give some back. The calculation was done after I left. I thought that I would be due more bonus but they claim I owe a refund. The bonus is $6,000; not a lot for them, but for me it is. HR sent a letter asking for it. I reviewed the policy. There is no clawback clause and nothing was signed.

Not just bonuses, but I have never had a company go after training either. The you have to work for us for 12 months or pay it back statement. I was expecting to owe them back for the training, but the new job was too good to turn down. Ended up they didn't care. Said it cost them more to recover it than it is worth most of the time so they don't bother.
