We were given an 8k relocation CHECK lump sum in July for our move and relo. The only language was in the offer letter that stated should my husband leave before a year up we would owe back the money. No contracts or stipulations were put on the money. We used every dime for boxes, packing, movers, trucks and 5 months of storage fees while we tried to find a suitable home for a long term lease (not buying as his kind of work moves him somewhat often) We used the money for 1st and part of security as our 3 storage units cost us most of the money. I kept everything on an excel sheet and have receipts for every dime spent only on the move. Nothing extra!! Now after turning it all in for reconciliation in Jan, they are stating we owe them back 2000.00. That the money is not allowed to be used for secuirty deposit. They have witheld now normal expense reimbursements for travel that he submits and today they have threatened to withold his paychecks to pay it back. Can they do this? There were no contracts or stipulations for the money and proof that all the money was used purely for the move/relo?

unless it was clearly mandated up front that receipts must be turned in AND only UP TO $3K would be covered, it is patently stupid, offensive, and petty penny pinching on the part of the company to ask for a dime of that money back.

imagine you’re the new employee hoping for a fresh start at what you hope turns out to be a great company. you submit your relo paperwork to HR, whereupon the news is dropped on you that all the scrimping and saving you did on relo expenses, and all the extra work you did YOURSELF rather than hiring movers was for naught because the company would rather have $1K back from you than employee good will. with such a demonstration that good will is of such little value to the company, I would take that as a serious red flag and would immediately begin job searching on principle alone.

asking for relo money back from an employee disincentivizes the employee to save the company’s money. a smarter approach would be to tell the employee, “You’ll get up to $3K of relo expenses. Receipts must be turned in. Any amount leftover below the $3K cap will be split 50/50 between the employee and the company.” This way, not only is everything clear up front, but the company’s incentives and the employees incentives are aligned.
