Code Ann. art. 2046 to mean that repayment was required only if the employee left voluntarily in two years; the bonus fell under La. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 23:631 since it was more than a one time event, so attorney's fees were awarded.

Overview: Where defendant's motion to reconsider a sentence was denied based on his assertion that a lower sentence was agreed upon, there was no error in failing to hold a hearing on the motion, a remand for such a hearing was not necessary under La.
