I need to quit and leave my job ASAP. I owe my boss money, a couple grand. But there is no housing where I am, and my mom is sick..and I need to move 16 hours away.
We never made an contract with the loan. Its more a personal thing that I must pay back, because its the right thing to do clearly.
But what are my options? Could I just leave? Should I talk to him?
What could he do to me legally? The loans were written out to me as "bonuses". I am not asking because I want to be shady. I love my boss, and I want to do the right thing. I want to know my *** is covered though. Just in case, because my other boss is not as nice.

I really want to make it very clear I want to do whats right. Pay him back. I am scared if I talk to him, then he will just fire me or screw me over in some way. Thats how it goes around here. I am scared for that.
But maybe that would be better?
I dont think I could live with the not paying him back.

If it is personal then talk to him about a payment plan. Set up payments and stick to them. It doesn't matter where you live or if you still work there.

Well indentured servitude has been abolished in the US (except apparently among illegal immigrant smugglers) so you can leave & go anywhere you want. If it is a loan you should arrange some sort of re-payment schedule. As the documentation apparently describes the payments as 'bonuses" which are generally not re-payable your former boss probably cannot enforce collection.

You admit that this is a loan, so you must legally pay him back. As this is a loan, you clearly have a verbal contract regarding the fact that this is a loan. I would contact your boss and try to set up a plan to repay him.

Sounds like she may have borrowed the money so she could take a leave of absence. One rule of thumb I use is I never lend out money that I need for bill. I would only lend money that I would have to spare. It sounds like if that person is able to repay it may take longer now due to them being out of work. The best thing you can do at this point is wait until they come back to work.

Talk to your boss and set out a payment plan for repaying the money.
Do it because it's the right thing to do; karma.

So, what are you asking, exactly?
I'm confused. You say you are going to pay him back...so what's the problem???
