QUESTION
I am quitting a job I've been in for 18 months, and it seems I have to payback relocation.

More details to this question:
My relocation contract goes for 24 months. However, in my time there I did not receive any bonuses that were clearly described in the contract, which should have been more than my relocation. I was also lied to quite severely on my job interview, if I was told the truth I never would have taken the job in the first place. Do I have any basis for not paying back the relocation? Or am I stuck?

If the bonuses were payable only in your employer's discretion, which is the custom, then your employer may exercise its discretion to withhold them. Generally speaking, if you have a written contract that specifies the terms of your employment (and repayment duty), those terms alone will be controlling. It may be worth your while to review your contract with an attorney.
