When I joined as a fresher in a software company, they didn't ask for any bonds from employees. Later, after working in the same company for 1.5 years, they introduced a rule that all employees, including freshers, should sign a 1-year Bond (Agreement), and the employer is now asking for original mark certificates. How can I break the bond? I have gained experience and am receiving good offers, but I am unable to leave the present company due to this bond. Anyone, please help me.

Hi Ram,
First, could you please clarify whether you are working in HR or a different field? If you are in a different field and have signed an agreement, you are required to stay for one year. If you have not signed anything, you can quit the job. The current rules state that these conditions apply, so they would not be applicable to you if you were to leave the company now without signing a bond.

Hi,
You can very easily quit if you have not signed the agreement yet. From your mail, it seems that they are yet to implement it. If you have, what is the penalty if you break the agreement? That clause is very important.

Hi Ram,
I agree with what Harini and Pooja have said. Actually, a bond is usually taken from employees at the beginning, i.e., while joining. I don't think there is a need to give a bond as you already have 1.5 years of experience in the same company. This bond agreement is one way to retain an employee. So, you can easily quit the company as your message indicates that you have not submitted the bonds yet.
