After it ended no. If you rejoin during the severance they prorate what you have to pay back.
@f8 "Things that didn't happen"
Friend of mine went back recently and told the recruiter he wouldn't accept an offer if he had to give a dime back. They agreed and it was part of the offer letter that he kept all severance.
It's an easy enough argument to make. Going back to Citi has a green dollar cost to you if they want to claw back the severance so it makes any offer weaker if you've got other leads, but they could also rescind the offer if those are your terms.
OP what you should ask is once you return the money will you get the taxes back? How will taxes be handled upon return and will you get an adjusted W2.
Yes
What you posted is correct and true.
While I agree that Citi HR is incompetent, gives conflicting different information each time you phone them, HR employees don't communicate with each other, they're uncoordinated with the foot Not knowing what the leg is doing, or do NOT reply at all, the severance info is found in the severance agreement document emailed or post mailed to laidoff employees.
Typical Citi employees who lack reading comprehension skills, lazy and do Not read legal documents they signed, and would rather repeatedly ask the same questions on an anonymous forum that have already been asked ad nauseum thousands of times.
The Low Calibre Citi employees could have signed away their very lives, financial assets or right to a speedy trial and they wouldn't know the difference because why read legal documents AND seek to improve reading comprehension skills when you can ask total strangers on the Internet who can be flat out Lying??!!!
Says a lot about Citi, the Subpar job applicants/employees it attracts and its HR "talent" acquisition.
Please bring us your desperate, mediocre or low calibre employees, and those with NO reading comprehension skills. They are the easiest to control and underpay.
We all know why Citi is toxic. It bleeds through the comments here. Instead of providing useful information, like lot of the useless citi people hide behind insults and passive aggressive comments. Citi has no HR Phone number to call and provides vague conflicting information through and through. People ask for help, its normal. Help someone or just keep scrolling.
Assuming the original poster said after severance period ended, you don't need to pay any money back to citi. Instance your notice and severance ended today, as long as you start tomorrow you don't have to pay a dime back. Best of luck!
@ah OP can't even spellcheck severance. Classic Citi candidate.
You get 2 weeks per year of service. It starts on your separation date. If you join before your severance length in weeks ends, you pay back the difference. In the example of 22 weeks, if you join back week one, you pay it all back, if you join 11 weeks later you pay half back, etc etc. It's all in your agreement and the paperwork they sent you if you care to read it. I feel like the people returning are the same ones that continually ask questions they could easily find answers themselves. Says a lot about Citi and it's talent acquisition. Please bring us your desperate, your moderately trained and those that cannot think independently. They are the easiest to control and underpay.
Wow you are joining back? Great? May i know which office, tech? Was it anything specific you did to rejoin ? I feel HR is kind of throwing out those laid off employees resumes.. in that situation geeting a joining is a big thing
If you mean you just got your full severance today I have to assume you will give it right back to them in full. If you got it 22 weeks ago it might be a smaller amount.
They will know in HR how much you owe them and as we all know they will collect lol.
In all honestly, if they don’t reach out then it’s on them since it’s their policy
Let's say my severance (example 2 2 weeks pay out) last day is today and I start this friday. Do I have to pay back anything?
Depends on how long, they have a timeline of how much you payback based how long you and citi have been separated. The longer you’re gone the less you pay, can’t remember what the timeline was since I was part of the August layoffs
