Legal Question in Employment Law in Tennessee

Tuition repayment to former employer

I was reimbursed for tuition by company ''X''. I signed an agreement to repay company ''X'', and only Company ''X'', any tuition reimbursement if I left within one year of reimbursement. Company ''X'' was then acquired by Company ''Y''. The tuition reimbursement agreement does not mention a successor or assign, even generically. I have since left company ''Y'' and they want to withold my last few paychecks for tuition owed to company ''X''. Company ''X'' no longer exists. Can I be bound to company ''Y'' if the reimbursement agreement does not mention their right to collect the reimbursement?

Re: Tuition repayment to former employer

An attorney would need to see your tuition reimbursement agreement and any related documents before being able to advise you on this issue. As a general rule, most of these types of agreements are assignable to successor employers.
