Employees have the right to resign even if bonded, unless they're divulging trade secrets to a competitor. Damages may be sought under Sections 73 and 74 of the Act if actual loss occurs due to breach. Workmen can address grievances ...ReadMore

If the contract specifies a notice period, resigning without serving it may result in the company claiming one month's salary. Address breaches through mutual resolution or negotiation. While approaching the Labor Commissioner for settlement is an option, acceptance dep ...ReadMore
