How to Request Your Employment Agreement Without Seeming Suspicious or Weird?

Requesting a Copy of Employment Agreement

It's been a month since I joined a company as a marketing professional. I am a fresher in my field, so I was asked to sign a one-year bond with the company. As I recall, I signed the employment agreement, which contained a clause about some training costs incurred on me, but it did not mention any specific duration for which I was liable to serve the company. However, the HR of the company says that it included a clause stating that I am supposed to serve for at least one year. Now, because of this, I want to have a copy of my employment agreement for reference.

Can I ask my employer for this without looking suspicious or weird?

Are they legally obligated to provide it to me? What is the best practice for asking for such a copy?

P.S. - They haven't given me my appointment letter as well.

Hi,

You can obviously ask for your employment letter copy at any time. There is no harm in that as it is a mutual agreement signed by both parties. Moving forward, whenever you accept a new job, make sure to read the terms and conditions carefully and seek advice from an expert if needed before signing.

Yes, at any stage, you can ask for it. The reason is that some companies change their rules frequently.
