Legal Question in Employment Law in California

My employer offered me a relocation package as part of my job offer and I signed a �Relocation Repayment Agreement� which states, �If I decide to leave *** within 24 months of my effective date, I agree to repay to *** the funds disbursed under the Program��

The way I interpreted that is that if �I� decide to leave, I will have to repay. My employer informed me that I will also need to repay if I am terminated. Can they make me repay if I am terminated?

Only if it is for cause.

Read the terms of your agreement to see if 'cause' was a listed event calling for repayment. If not listed, then you'll have a legal battle if you contest repayment under those conditions.
