Hi! I came across a case where a fresh GET was hired by MNC IT company with a clause that He would be given Rs x lacs as joining bonus without any further T&C. As part of appointment clause, one month basic was to be paid in case of resignation and not serving notice period.
A GET joined and completed the joining formalities on the first day but went and informed HR the very next day that she/he does not want to work and would quit after serving for a month. After failing to persuade the candidate to change mind, HR asked the person to resign and post this demanded one month's basic else be threatened for a bad reference. The GET paid up and was promised a settlement letter which never came.
Was the HR right in its approach to collect one month basic without paying a single day salary? If yes then technically does the same logic entitles GET for x lacs joining bonus?
