body: A year ago I started working at a well known company and it turned out to be a lot worse than expected, so I'd like to leave ASAP since I already made plans for the future. As part of employment I was also given some money for relocation and other expenses. 
  
  
  For it, there is a sentence in my contract (last part shortened):
  
  
  
  > 
  > In the event that you choose to leave the company within 12 months of the start of your job responsibilities (start date for new hires or internal transfer date), all relocation cash allowances and money ... must be paid back.
  > 
  > 
  > 
  
  
  My question (it might be more of an English than law related), but does within 12 months mean if:
  
  
  1. The date when I stop working (my last work day) is within those 12 months,
  2. I make a decision within first 12 months (officially give my resignation in first 12 months, even if then by notice period obligation I still work 13th month),
  3. Something else :)?
  
  
  Thanks!
