Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Relocation Expense Refund
When I got hired, I signed a statement that if I left the firm for any reason within the first 12 months, I would reimburse, on a pro-rata basis, the relocation expenses the company paid. Are these agreements enforceable in the State of California?
Also will the time taken off for short term disability during the first 12 months
be counted as not worked?

Re: Relocation Expense Refund
Agreements to reimburse the employer for relocation expenses are enforceable.
A strong argument can be made that a short term disability would not be deducted from time worked unless the policy or agreement specifically makes that clear. Your employment was not terminated, nor was there a break in service, so a strong claim cam be made that such disability time would be considered as part of your employment period.
