I am a permanent employee of my company but recently, i was made to sign a 1 year bond with them as they gave me the annual raise (which was after 13 months). They just made me sign on a paper which stated my revised salary effective 1st September and that i cannot quit before 1 year is over. Also, if i quit before that, i will have yo pay my salary of 2 months to the company. Is this legal? I wasn't informed informed about the bond before i was made to sit before my VP, AVP and Dept head and sign the paper which i did as it was bit intimidating. Please let me know if anything can be done regarding this. Is there a scope to challenge this?

A.Private job is a contract between the employer and the employee so when you sign an agreement or job offer letter you actually agree to abide by the terms and conditions. Since you sign them so they are legal. You can fight it out in the court of law saying that you were forced to sign this but then you will have to prove it.
