What is your policy for when an employee who received an advanced degree which the company has paid for, leaves?  Do you have a claw back policy?

We do have a policy in place which claws back money paid for high levels of investment. This reduces over an 18 month period and so a large percentage is claimed back after 6 months of service and a nominal percentage at the 18 month mark

We also have a repayment policy if you leave before 24 months following your reimbursement.

When we agree to pay for education over a certain amount there is a payback agreement in place. It outlines that we may recall a prorated amount if they voluntarily leave our organization within 2 years.

our organization will pay for certifications related to the employee's role/position, with a 2-year clawback.  The amount due decreases incrementally each quarter until the 2-year clawback is up.

In my past lives, we had a two-year claw back that was prorated depending on when they left.  Less than a year was 100% repayment, between 1 - < 2 was prorated by month.

Between 1 year and less than two, it was prorated by month.

Sounds brilliant.  Cross fertilisation of ideas, people understanding other jobs in the business.  I guess you'd want to make sure it didn't get out of control, but someone from one function helping someone in another has ...read more
