Costa Mesa, CA asked in Bankruptcy and Employment Law for California

Q: My employer filed chapter 11 while I was in maternity leave. If I leave will I have to pay back insurance premiums?

My employer filed chapter 11 while I was in maternity leave. I just returned back to work 2 days ago and I have a job offer from another company. With that said if I leave the company within 30 days (which it doesn’t look like it’s going to last that long) will I be required to pay back the insurance premiums? My employer also wants to change job from designing to licensing by won’t meet me at the pay I’m asking.

A: I’d take the new job, stretch out the depart/start time to meet the 30 days if possible. Highly unlikely you will have to repay any premiums at all.
