Dear Client,

No law prohibit any individual to opt for particular job or switch but only to honor bond/pay bond money, if violated bond terms.

Contact for any bond or agreement

1) appointment letter should mention that in case employee would be required to give 3 months notice period

2) if he fails to give 3 months notice period then employee shall pay salary in lieu of notice period

3) that in case employee leaves before 2 years he shall have to pay Rs x amount spent on his training

4) employee should execute employment bond to compensate employer for loss suffered on account of breach of contract

Make an appointment letter with your staff on rs. 100 stamp paper. This way they will always have the pressure of some legal action being initiated against them in case they leave the job.

Also, in the said agreement you may mention the term of employment, term of termination, notice period etc.

Regards

Even the engineers after getting subsidised education from IIT serve foreign countries and government of India can do nothing.

So even if you get any bond for certain period by the employee you can't restrain them from leaving your shop.

Only way to stop such acts is to pay them better salary than your competitor.

You can enter into service agreement with your employees in which you can mention the undertaking clauses for your employees. But make sure undertaking must be reasonable and should not against the law.

If you train them and in the process cost and time is incurred/entailed, you may go ahead and sign a softly worded employment bond with them.

You can demand bonds from them

You can hire them only on a work agreement. You can make some provision in the agreement to retain your worker for a considerable time after joining. You should avoid to hire any employee orally. Making a work contract and appoint every employee only through that agreement would protect your right and interest in your business. Binding each employee for at least 2 years is reasonable and justifiable also it is not against the principle of contract.

Hi gitesh , it is advisable that you make a bond agreement , and get it signed by your employees at the time of joining .. The bond agreement shall have a clause of lock-in period of 2 years , and if they leave it befor the Said period they will have to pay you the loss incurred in the business as well as salary of 2 months

Next time when you employ staff, you may design an employment offer letter with terms and conditions sting to the local circumstance and in accordance with the labor laws.

This will safe guard your interests and please remember that you can even get an employment bond executed towards the training imparted to the employees.
