nsripad
Can we include the terms and conditions in the appointment order pertaining to the following points:
1. Can We specify minimum period of service to be rendered by employee like 3 months, 6 months or 1 year in the appointment letter
2. If an employee leaves the job after a brief period of service of 3 months, any un-availed Leave with wages (EL) be with-held for payment while settling the dues of such employee
3. If an employee abandons the job without informing the Employer, whether Employer can withhold the salary without processing and keep it in abeyance and when employee approach for such final payment, then can the Salary be processed and paid. In such an event, can salary be calculated without PF and ESI deductions or if PF and ESI deductions can be shown in the month such salary is cleared to the Employee. Can there be such clause included in the appt. letter.
