Get your hand out of my pocket!

I received a letter stating that I had to repay the portion of the sign-on bonus I received due to the fact that I left the facility. I have no problem paying the money except that they are including the taxed portion, isn't that like paying twice? Also, I left because they downsized and my position was no longer available. They told the NM, the nurse bumping me, and the person who completes the scheduling that I was losing my position. Everyone but me, instead they told the nurse replacing me, "just erase her name from the self-scheduling book and add yours", they cancelled my shifts so that that nurse replacing me could "gain experience on her floor" when I questioned personnel they said, "bumping is commencing on the 8th and that is when you will be notified, we can not give out any further information". So, I began interviewing at other facilities and resigned before the 8th. After that kind treatment from administration I have to cut them a check, I think I would rather chew broken glass!

Why would a place downsizing be offering sign on bonuses?? Were you offered another position??

What you wrote does not make any sense, if they were eliminating your position why were they replacing you with another nurse? If your position was eliminated due to downsizing then you should not have to repay. I would not repay at all, let them try to collect. Good luck.
