Has anyone had their signing bonus clawed back? What was that like?

SWAT team conducts a raid on your house in the search for the signing bonus cash

Ostensibly it’s called a clawback because they are trying to do it without your participation. If they ask you to initiate, tell them that’s not a clawback. That’s an askback.

Tell them to kick rocks.

Have not but thinking they would deduct it out of your final check and severance Had this happen for my UK visa expenses bc I quit after 9 months

You get asked. Pick whatever permutation you like if you don’t comply - nothing, blacklist, collections, suit. One example was a letter with amount and wire details.
