How to Address an Employee's Early Resignation Breach of Bond Agreement? Seeking Sample Notice Letter

Hi everyone,

I have an employee who signed a one-year bond agreement with us when joining our company. However, after only 3 months, she submitted a resignation application. Can anyone provide me with a sample letter to issue a notice to her about the breach of the contract before fulfilling its conditions? Please share your best ideas with me. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Bonded labor is abolished in India, and hence such agreements are not enforceable. At most, you can ask the employee to serve the notice period, if any, or ask her to pay you an equivalent salary in lieu of the notice period.

What was the content of the bond? Have you provided any kind of special training to such an employee? If not, then you cannot do much with the bond as already pointed out herein above.

The current company has a two-year bond which is signed at the time of joining. Herein, it is mentioned that in case the employee leaves before 2 years, a relieving letter will be provided only at the end of 2 years.

My probation was extended by another 3 months. In this case, if I want to leave for personal reasons, will the company give me a relieving letter?
