NLRB GC Asserts “Stay-Or-Provisions” Are Unlawful
10-30-2024
Jennifer Abruzzo, NLRB’s General Counsel, believes some “stay or pay” provisions infringe on employees’ rights. She outlined her reasons in a non-binding memorandum. An employment-related stay or pay provision requires an employee to compensate their employer if they leave their job within a certain period. Employers write these provisions in employment offers and agreements. Examples of these reimbursements include sign-on or relocation bonuses, educational repayment contracts, and training repayment agreement provisions.
