Hi all, I wish to issue an appraisal letter to a few of my employees who were appraised in the mid-year. Simultaneously, I would like to bind them in a 1-year commitment. As per the management, they want me to prepare a draft stating that in case they withdraw their employment during the binding period, the organization should mention that they will revoke the appraised position and the amount in the FnF statement. Is it possible?? Can someone share the draft??

Performance Appraisal and Salary Increment
Please note the following:
a) Performance Appraisal (PA) is conducted to assess past performance. Depending on the level of performance, an employee is given a salary increment. Now, if the employee separates from the company in the future, how can you link this future activity with the past? Is it possible?
b) Once the salary is disbursed to the employee, it cannot be reversed as no law permits that. An employee's salary can be forfeited, but this forfeiture is done as a punishment. This punishment can be awarded if the misconduct of the employee is proven in the domestic enquiry. In your case, if you deduct the salary of an employee who is quitting the company, on what grounds will you justify this deduction? What will be your credible explanation?
Therefore, please advise your management to abandon this idea.
Thanks,
