If you were relocated in 1h2016 ESP, is there an amount of time that has to go by before you can leave the company without having to pay relocation money back?

There's a repayment agreement you had to sign as the first thing you did with Brookfield. I don't remember offhand but I think it was 100% repayment if you quit within 12 months of your payroll transfer date. Check your paper to know for sure though.
Hey you all. I read what @fls posted and don't read anywhere where he/she advises to tell HR than one is considering leaving the company. Have any of you actually read the post? Seems not. To my understanding, the poster is inferring to the reader, as a last resort, to ask HR about their Relocation Policy and how relocation costs or reimbursement thereof plays a part in that Policy. I'm sure any intelligent employee can properly craft the question to HR to not be too obvious.
Why is broke a-- Chevron paying any moving expenses?
1eif is right. Who in their right mind would mention to HR that they were thinking about leaving the company. You would need to be a complete moron to believe that was a good idea.
Good idea to talk to your supervisor or HR about leaving the company. We got some real sharp ones posting here.
Rule # 1: Don't ask, don't tell Duh....
They made me pay back every cent. I didn't have any choice. Talked to my lawyer and did everything I could do. YMMV.
I voluntarily terminated 9 months after taking the money. I didnt have to pay a dime back. The 12 month rule is a scare tactic. It states 100% payback if you leave before 12 months. I wouldnt worry about it personally.
I believe its 100% if you leave in the first year and 50% of relo costs of you leave in the second. This may have changed, but was the policy in place when I relocated in 2014.
There has been a company policy or guidance in the past (not sure how well it's followed) that stipulated that an employee could not apply or post out for another job for two years once accepting the current job he has. If that is something the company still adheres to, then it's possible you'd be obligated to repay relocation costs if you decide to leave the company before that time period expires. You should consult the terms and conditions under which you accepted your current position (including the actual job posting documents). If nothing is expressly put in writing, then research the HR website. As a last resort, talk to your supervisor and or HRBP.
