I recently joined in a private company and i have been to recruit new employees from a collage. i have gone through the documents which suppose to be signed by new employees. Th e issue is i noticed that new employees must hand over all their educational certificates and 3 years agreement signed by them. this is very unethical to me so i withdrawn my post and said other reason not continuing that. my question is the companies have rights to hold their employees educational certificates. I was once heard that this is offence in India and whether really management approved such a malpractice. I do not know how to escalate this to management . required advise from experts.
