Misrepresentation in employment bond and employer demanding breaching charges
2 years ago
Hi,
I am currently working in a IT company based in Pune and I have signed a bond with them to be employable with the company for minimum of 3 months and this is exact languages that is used in the Bond.
Now the issue is, I resigned 3 days before I complete my 3 months because I have to serve 2 months of notice from the date of resignation and hence my total employment with the company would be more than 3 months. But HR is demanding bond amount stating that you have resigned before 3 months which is nowhere mentioned that I cannot resign before 3 months, it's just says I have to be employable for minimum of 3 months which I am fullfilling.
P.S - I am following proper resignation and exit protocol and not absconding.
I am wanted to take expert's advice on what my remedies would be if HR creates problems to release my relieving and experience letter.
Since the bond says three months then you need to seek clarity from them that does it include the notice period or not. Infact you should get the complete contract reviewed by a lawyer to arrive at the right conclusion. The remedies can be told to you, if any basis the review of the document.
