Company Wants Money Back Before Release – How Can I Handle This Without a Bond?

Company wants the money back that they have invested in me before releasing me. Although I have not signed any bond. What is the way out?

---

Company hires people for their work. It means that the employee invests his time and knowledge, and in return, he receives a salary. If the company truly cares about this investment, then they should not release the employee but instead hire him for the next project.

Clarification on Company's Request for Repayment

The question of the company's request for the employee to repay the money invested in them before their release is unclear. Are they asking for the salary or other expenses paid during your employment? What was the duration of your employment with them, and why do you wish to leave?

If you have any documents such as an attendance register, letters signed on behalf of the company, or any other supporting employment documentation, make photocopies and seek advice from a competent lawyer or solicitor promptly.

The company has given a 2-month salary as "employee severance" because of the unavailability of projects or because they no longer required that employee and found a supporting clause in his offer letter.

If they want this "employee severance" amount back, then they should have some other program for the next employment of the employee, or the company should retain him.
