Don’t bring it up and see if they let it go . You can generically ask if there anything pending from my side that I need to complete before leaving . If they bring it up , then it is a grey area . If it’s in your contract you have signed , then they can threaten you legally . It’s kind of a nuisance for you if this happens . I would act in good faith and return this amount . Seeing that you are in Uber should not be a big amount for you 😅 . Background checks they may give a negative review for you so I would ask to resolve it amicably with them .

Hi all, 

I’ve left a MNC as sde-1 before completing one year, sign on bonus clause says that I’ve to return 100% if I leave before completing one year. 

Sign on bonus in my case is 6.5 lakhs. Want to know if people usually return the amount? What are the consequences if not returned?

Returning sign on bonus- Grapevine

Let’s say I leave a company after 2 months. What would happen if I don’t return their joining bonus.

They have a clause in offer letter that says I should return the amount if I leave before a year.

posting on behalf of a friend - he works at samsung and recently got an offer from google. 

but apparently he had received a retention bonus of 6L from samsung this year. and now, the company is asking for it back.

is this return enforceable? how often do such big companies enforce it? what happens if he defaults? can he negotiate it down?

Trying to access what paths typically a company takes when an employee doesn’t return joining bonus after they resign within one year of joining. What are some some worst cases? Can they do a court cases? What happens in those scenarios. 
Basically had to leave the company due to weird company culture and frequent change in the roles.

Growth Manager

Company calls it 21L packages, but it’s not per annum rather a cumulative of 3 years.

So the data is old but from what i read,

you get 3.3lpa for the first 15-18 months, post that you receive a one time 5L bonus. 

then you work for 5.5lpa for a year,

and finally 7.25 lpa for the third year


And if you leave between the 3Y, you have to return the 5L bonus with 6 month notice period.

if you don’t want notice period, pay up 10L


Anyone from MuSigma who can throw light on this?

How to return the joining bonus? If we leave a company before the mentioned time period in an offer letter? Do they cut from salary ? Or do we have to return explicitly?
I joined Accenture a few days back but not liking the project here and they are not even allowing me to change the project, so now the only way remaining is to change the company.
If anyone has any idea regarding returning joining bonus please guide/comment.

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I have been working at my current company for about a year now. I joined the company with the understanding that I would be learning a lot and being paid less than market value. At that time, I didn't mind being paid less; I joined on 3.5 LPA in Bangalore. After that, in December, I got an appraisal, which put my CTC at 4.4 LPA. Since everyone on my team knows what I'm capable of, I asked for the hike.

I have been doing a lot of valuable work, such as automation, and I've filed patents as well in my final year project at my university. I have also been assigned all of the challenging tasks because my team knows that I am capable of handling them.

I recently asked my manager for a raise. I asked for a 100% raise, which would bring my salary close to 9 LPA. My manager said that he would consider my request, but he eventually came back with an offer of a first 15% and then 25% raise.

I believe that a 25% raise is still too low. I am looking for a job where I am paid what I am worth. I am confident that I can find a job that pays me 9 LPA or more.

I just wanted to know some second thoughts: am I doing something wrong in the negotiation, or should I approach it in a different way?

Not to denigrate others, but I know my teammates carry 2-3 years of experience, but I'm still the one coming up with new ideas and how to solve the problem, and I'm delivering it. Many times, my manager even said he always has higher expectations of me than others.

The excuse my manager is giving is that it doesn't matter; if you join on a higher package at some other place, you'll have to return the joining bonus here of 1 lakh (I'm leaving before 18 months, so), plus after paying taxes, the equation becomes equal, so he's suggesting to wait until December and then look for other options.

What is a reasonable ask while negotiating with startups?

Should I ask for a match or hike of X% over my TC/annum (52lk Base + 8lk Bonus + Rs30lk RSUs), or should I negotiate only over the Cash (Base + Bonus) component?

A startup I’m negotiating with is not considering the RSUs I have and is offering a 8% hike only on the cash component, and is throwing in ESOPs (paper money) instead.

What do I do?

I recently switched companies and had to refund the bonus component I received last FY to my previous company.
Now that I've refunded it, is there any way to show my yearly salary as 
"Total salary - refunded amount"
 while filing for taxes for this FY next year?
If so, how and what proofs are needed?

Recently I heard Wipro will be asking employees to return bonus amount even after serving 1 year bond. When resigning after 1 year or 2 year the bonus that we got after 18 months period i.e., 25000/- will the Manager or HR asks us to return the amount? If anyone heard or knew the similar case please clarify.
