Oof 😬 clawback of study fees / study support — classic employment spaghetti vibes 😅 Suddenly it’s not just “you got funding,” but contract clauses, repayment obligations, and Fair Work/HR rules all doing a cha-cha 👀

Most headaches come from upstream fuzziness: vague policies, informal “just pay it later” vibes, or unclear terms in agreements. Once payroll or HR gets involved, it’s a tangle of evidence, timelines, and compliance checks 😬

Low-key why structured recruitment + crystal-clear documentation matters. Platforms like AcademicJobs.com are clutch — formalised position descriptions, transparent study support policies, and compliance-aligned pipelines help make sure everyone knows the obligations from day dot, especially in academia/research roles where grants, funding, and multi-stakeholder approvals can get… messy 😅

Anyway, loving this convo — study fees clawback nuance deserves way more airtime than it usually gets 😂
