Contractual obligations are another thing altogether.

It actually has been quite standard for large companies supporting
students (specifically when paying tuition and books) to require, by
contract, the same duration in guaranteed service. That is why i
never asked for / accepted a previous employers terms for
reimbursement.


That's not only legally unenforcable, it's silly. Why would an
employer want an employee around who doesn't want to be there?

They can leave anytime they want. The employer can demand
reimbursement for breech of contract, too. It really isn't a bad
deal for either side.

Demanding recompense for breach of contract ain't the same as getting
it.

Most companies just take it out of the final pay check.
