Employment Agreements: Are They Binding and What Makes Them Legally Valid?

Employment Agreement Compliance and Legal Validity

I want to know if, in the case where a person joins a company and signs an Employment Agreement defining the terms and conditions of their employment, if they later violate the agreement, will they be held responsible and bound to comply with the agreement?

Legal Validity of Employment Agreements

To make an agreement legally valid, will it be necessary to get it printed and signed on stamp paper, or will it be fine if it is on legal paper or company letterhead? Also, what stamp duty or registration process should be done in this regard?

Please, this is urgent.

There are many things to be understood. The agreement must be valid as per the Indian Contract Act. Now, stamp paper and notary are not always that important. They are errors that can be rectified at the time of the suit itself. See this for complete details Things To Remember While Drafting A Valid Employment Contract
