I left my last company the day after our quarterly bonus and HR managed to reverse the transaction. To be honest I didn't even realize te bonus was due that day and I gave my usual 2 week notice. They could have not even deposited the amount and I would have not noticed. HR leadership used be a lot kinder at that company until there was a shift to a new HR director.

That sounds illegal.

It doesn't matter if its illegal or not, if he wants to dispute it, it will probably go through binding arbitration.

Arbitrators do not need to have any understanding of the law, and are notoriously employer-friendly.

Possibly but the amount lost was small and I had already gotten 98%+ of all my bonuses up to this point.
