I was suspended with pay and then after three weeks, I was terminated. Now they want me to pay back the money they paid me for my suspension. Is that legal?

- Agreement: Clearly state the mutual agreement to replace the existing contract.
- Obligations: Outline the obligations of each party under the new contract.
