A: In Florida, the terms of your contract and the specific circumstances surrounding your termination will determine whether you are required to repay relocation payments if you were fired.

If the contract did not specify a timeframe for required employment, and you were terminated without cause before the agreed-upon timeframe, you may have a stronger argument that you should not be obligated to repay the relocation payments. However, it's essential to carefully review the language of your contract and any provisions related to relocation payments, termination, and repayment obligations.
