My employer provided me with tuition reimbursement of $2000 during 2012. In February of 2012, the policy of the company changed, saying recipients would only be granted $1000 per calendar year. My personal applications for reimbursement were completed before the changes were put into effect and I have proof of that. They are now requesting I repay the additional $1000 they have me. They request it either in a lump sum, or four payments of $250 out of my next four checks. My pay Is usually only $300-$350 every two weeks. Am I obligated to comply with these terms? What happens if I deny to allow them to deduct it from my pay?
Answer
If he pulls money out of your paycheck without you agreeing to it, (1) quit and (2) report him to the Texas Workforce Commission.
If your employer demands payment, tell him: a deal's a deal. He agreed to give you $2000 tuition reimbursement - it wasn't contingent on anything else.
