Hr is blackmailing to take a legal action - signed a 2 years bond. I am still in probation period

narendra-gali1
I sent a resignation email to a company after 2 months of joining because of full pressure, health issues, and no training. Now HR is calling and saying your employee ID is still active and it's with the client. If you don't come back, we will take legal action. It feels like he is blackmailing me. I signed a 2-year bond, and I am still in the probation period. Can you tell me what to do now?

Hello,

Please visit your office once and talk to your company's HR to discuss all the problems you are currently facing.

Thank you.

Dear Friend,

This kind of inauspicious reasons may affect your professional growth. As an employee, your responsibility is to complete the separation process with your employer in a smooth way. In case you join another company and they conduct a background verification, you may lose opportunities from reputed companies.

Thank you.

Hi,

Please look for a solution. If you approach HR in person, they may guide you with a nominal solution. It is always advisable to ensure a smooth separation from any employer. Also, please refer to the following link where our learned Member Sri Umakanthan provided a related answer that seems more appropriate: [Service Bond possible company change](https://www.citehr.com/607725-service-bond-possible-company-change-terms-between.html)

Your employer can claim compensation or damages from you but certainly cannot pressure or force you to do work.

Although in the probation period, the employer can't force you to remain in their entity. But it is always advisable to ensure a smooth separation from any employer.

Hi,

You must understand that the course of action you have taken is not professional, hence causing such hassles. You should meet with your HR and explain your side of the story. Since you are under a 2-year bond, it is likely you will have to pay a certain amount to terminate your bond with the company. Once you reach out to HR, they will assist in facilitating the separation process and you can also discuss potential negotiations.
