Aren’t signing bonuses explicitly an early in the job sort of thing?

    Yea that's normally how it works, but the news was reporting the fine print of some who signed on not getting their bonuses until they've met a 3 year minimum or having to pay it back. Like with anything Trump, the money was never real.

    Normally yes but I think they weren't actual signing bonuses. To be honest, I read somewhere that some were quitting because they were afraid they would never get the bonuses, but I neither remember the source, not its veracity. But a lot of times it's Lemmy.

    Right right, but this was advertising language. In reality it was a one-time performance bonus, but they called it a signing bonus to trick people into joining.

    The problem ICE lawyers will have is that if they call it a signing bonus, maybe the fine print doesn't matter, because people reasonably believed that it was one... So my prediction is a class action lawsuit. Although that will be interesting because there are limits on what federal employees can sue for. We shall see.

    Legaly speaking, if your employee has comited crimes during their work, can't you ask them to give back even more than just the signing bonus?

    I am quite sure ICE keeps informations on their ex agents...
