Signing bonuses and relocation assistance often come with repayment obligations tied to the initial term of the employment agreement. Many physician contracts require repayment if the physician leaves before the end of the contract term. However, the structure of the repayment schedule can vary significantly.

In this video, we discuss common signing bonus repayment structures, including full repayment provisions, prorated forgiveness schedules, and monthly forgiveness models. We also cover how termination provisions can affect whether a signing bonus must be repaid.

Physicians should also understand the tax implications of signing bonus repayment. Signing bonuses are typically taxed when paid, but if repayment is required, the employer usually expects the gross amount to be repaid rather than the net amount the physician actually received.

Understanding the structure of signing bonus repayment clauses is critical before signing a physician employment contract. The details of the repayment schedule, termination language, and forgiveness structure can significantly affect financial risk if you leave the position early.
