4. The amount of compensation exacted on the employee must be reasonable and not inordinate.           

Further, the grounds which are being taken care of by the courts in case the brecah happens is based on the circumstances mentioned below as:-

1. When the employer has spent money on training the employee.
2. When the training was imparted on the employee on consideration that he/she would not leave the employment for a particular period of time.
