My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Illinois
I received a moving stipend for my job to relocate from out of state. AFTER I relocated and started my new job with this employer, I was coerced to sign an agreement that requires me to pay my moving stipend in full if I leave before completing 12 months. I did not agree to these terms before I accept the job offer. I have worked 11 months and am going to leave.
The agreement also has language that is not legal (I think) in the state of Illinois such as threatening to withhold wages and reimbursements that they owe me. Also, the employer did not pay me all of the funds of the relocation that I had originally agreed to (they only paid me a portion). Finally, the employer also changed my job title shortly after I started working for them (within a couple of days).
Legally, I think I am in the clear to not pay them back. I agreed to work in a certain position, for a certain stipend, and no additional strings. They breeched my original agreements and forced me (by nature of asking me to sign the contract after I had moved) to agree to terms that put me in a sever disadvantage.
If I don't pay them back, do I have a reasonable case against them?
