Hi,
I am from India. I am an experienced person and joined a new company at a new city in this month. I have signed a Surety Bond of more then 1 Lac Rs. and given a bank cheque against the Bond of 1.5 Years. As per my appointment period my probation period is 1 month only which will end in next 10 days.
I am facing two problems in the company
1. I have suffering from stomach related problem from the day one I changed the city. I consulted to Doctor, as per doctor it happens with approx every person in this city due to water. But after 15 days there is no improvement even more weakness etc problem started.
2. Company Policies are not much appreciable in regards to employee and work environment.
Because I am unable to work so I told HR about the problem and said them that I want to leave the company. They are saying I can not leave, and leaving will be Breach of Bond and I have to pay the complete BOND amount and will not get salary.
- I have the doctor prescription copy and medicine Bills.
- I have mail to HR, In which I mentioned that I am not comfortable and don't want to continue
Can you please guide, In a probation period is the Bond applicable to me? Do I have to pay that much of amount? Can company submit that check in Bank and if dishonored, then make Court Case against me?.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
Thank you for your reply. Your phone number is not complete. Your suggestion is a solution that I can adopt, but at the same time, I cannot join anywhere else.
I am mainly concerned about the legal steps the company can take against me.

Dear Rakesh,
First thing you should do today: Give a stop payment to your banker for the cheque you issued to your company.
Second: Before you leave the company as Rameshwar advised you, put in for a long medical leave with the help of a doctor's certificate.
Third: Hand over the job-related items in a written format, and have it signed by your superiors.
Lastly: You should consult a labor-specialized lawyer from the city where you currently work. Otherwise, from your hometown, have him send a notice to your employer. With this action, they can only threaten employees and may not succeed in court.
All the best.

Dear Hi,
Please check your bond. If your bond is one-sided or either side, and if your bond is only one-sided, then the value of the bond is ZERO. If your bond is on both sides, then check for how many years the bond is valid.
At the same time, if your salary is below 10,000/-, please consult with an ESI doctor and take a long leave for rest. If your salary is 10,001/- and above, then take a long leave from the company either through email or a registered couriered application.
If none of the above ways apply, please seek assistance through the court as that type of bond is not valid. If there are any queries, please contact through mail.

Bond Period and Probation: Understanding the Terms
I was in a Haryana government job and resigned after 3.5 years. I successfully completed a 2-year probation period. Now, the department is demanding 6 months' salary back according to the bond. According to the bond language, the three-year bond period starts or executes after the completion of the first two-year probation period. This means, according to them or the bond language, the first two years are probation, and the next three years are the bond period. Is it possible or justified? I think the bond must start from the very first day of the job. Please help me.
