My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: California... I work for a big bank. I was recruited to join and relocate my family of 5 from East to West coast. My employer knew that in order for my family to relocate, we would need to find special medical care given my young sons rare disease. It took several months, but finally we found a doctor willing to treat his rare disease. Prior to our actual move, my employer knew that they would be winding down the specific business I was hired to lead. Two months after the actually move we were notified the business would be wound down. Fortunately, I was placed in a role, but would be required to relocate again within the next 12 months. Unfortunately, we could not find a doctor to treat our son in two of the cities where we could relocate. We asked the company to move us back to the east coast given the situation and they agreed. We would have never moved to the west coast if we had known what they knew they the business would have been divested and we would have had to move again. I am one year into the two year agreement and plan on resigning. The new company has offered to move us back to the east coast, which means my existing employer will not have to incur those expenses. Given these facts, what is the likelihood that the employer will seek repayment of relocation expenses? Do I have any recourse given they moved my family with our special circumstances knowing the business would be shut down and we would be required to relocate again? Sorry for the complex story.... Thoughts?
