Understanding Employment Agreements: Legal Implications and Employee Rights - CiteHR

I'm a fresher who joined Wipro Technologies. Due to constant health problems, I only completed 2 months of training and then resigned. Now, they are sending me emails stating that I need to pay 75,000 INR. Please help me with this issue as I come from a financially poor family.

First of all, you have not informed us for which position you have joined. Did you sign any agreement or contract? What are the terms and conditions mentioned in that?

Have you joined any other organization for another job? If not, you can manage.

Is it my imagination, or are we seeing many posts here on CiteHR lately about people who ARE NOT READING *every* document that is put in front of them to sign during recruitment?

I know there are sometimes extenuating circumstances like ill health, etc., that can force a person to leave a position unexpectedly.

However, can I just say this - NEVER EVER under any circumstances sign a document that you have not read thoroughly and fully understand all the implications of.

If you do not understand the conditions, ASK for clarification. If necessary, seek legal or other professional help BEFORE you sign.

If you have elderly relatives, parents, family members, etc., if you or your nearest and dearest have health problems, if your family lives in another state, etc., etc., etc., work through all the possibilities of something going wrong before you commit to anything that will involve you having to repay money or serve onerous notice periods.

It also seems to me that in India at least, "change of mind" is not an acceptable reason to walk out on a job a few weeks after taking it. And neither should it be. As I have said in many postings, recruitment and selection is an expensive process for a business. The company needs to be sure it is getting the right person, BUT you also need to be equally sure you have done due diligence and are joining a company you REALLY want to work for. All recruitment is a two-way street; the company needs to be happy, and YOU need to be happy.

Ashakiran, maybe talk to your doctor and see if you can get something from him/her that will help plead your case with your ex-employer. Failing that, you may need to seek some legal assistance, though that could end up costing more than the bond, I suspect. But, the more I read of these cases on CiteHR, the more I tend to think that a lot of these companies need to be thumped hard with legal action to stop them from exploiting people. It seems to me that in a few cases at least, slavery is still alive and well in India.
