It’s not that straightforward and depends on when the bonus was received vs when you repay it. It also relies on the company to accept the post tax amount as repayment and pursue the taxes back from the government.
When someone leaves they ask for the full pre-tax amount back (I’ve seen the repayment request) so hopefully you have a decent lawyer if you really want that money back.
To me, not worth the $500 you might get in income throwing it in the market.
