Bonds in service.
Why do companies take a bond at all, if the courts have ruled against these?
What are the auditors doing? What about company law Ministry and Labour dept?
The bonds are one-sided..in that the company can chuck you out but you cannot quit.
How do they arrive at a figure? have they got the bond language/terms okayed from the labour dept? This shd be made mandatory.
Training is to be given by the employer and this may be prescribed as one month. So one month's notice is OK.And periodic training is to be given to an employee to update him with new developments, this cannot be held against him because the employee must be equipped to do his job in the company. It is thus the responsiblity of the co. to provide training or updation.
An employee may be given one week's training and he may be asked to sign a bond for 2 or 10 years. Is it valid????
The employer cannot fix an arbitrary amount and so this must be scrutinised by a Govt official. And he must certify that he has applied his mind on this issue.
My son signed a bond with a Govt unit and it said 10 years.Amount was initially mentioned as Rs10 L but later o,n as Rs2 lakhs. He was not given any specialised training but given only 1 or 2 days refresher courses. These are periodically reqd as per the law . So this shd not be held against the employee. He cannot evade it. So why put the cost on him?
He went for specialised training and on resumption the govt unit refused to give him a suitable upgraded job...but expected him to continue for 10 years after resumption. They did not spend a single paise on his training. They sanctioned without pay leave. he gave 1 month's notice and met senior officials to relieve him. But nothing happened. He quit and joined a new company. After 2 years he has received a letter for Rs 2lakhs. Maybe a legal notice may follow.
And why shd one get a "no due cert" or relieving letter from the old employer to join a new office/unit.? This is a restrictive practice aimed to restrict an employees's fundamental right to get better jobs and improve his life. And how an anyone prevent his right to train for better jobs at his own expense?
This is inhuman and the courts have to come in heavily against the companies(incl govt depts and units). What are the trade unions doing in these companies. Just collecting membership fees and partying.
Shall be glad to have views from HR and Lawyers with case references.
