Clarification on Employee agreement

hi All,

I am a Software Engineer. As part of the employee agreement, my company has a clause during terminating one's service from the organisation:

Subsequent to the termination of employment, no Employee shall directly or indirectly:

iii. For a period of 1 year from the effective date of termination of employment, commence or carry on any business that directly or indirectly competes with the business of the Company;
iv. Seek employment or get employed with any of the Company’s clients, business partners, Affiliates, or vendors.


Is the above mentioned clause applicable in the court of law?? becuase if i am a software engineer, i can only join another company which is in a similar trade. could you pls clarify?

thanks
Aadhi

Conditions during probation period????

Hi! we know that now in most of the government jobs there is a probabtion period of 2 years and after successful completion of the probation period you are enrolled as a permanent employee.
my query is that suppose there is some new government department who appoints its total staff (as there is no permanent employee at present)and therefore its whole staff is on probation period. Now, if due to some or other reason the department gets closed before 2 years then what will happen to the persons appointed and who have yet not completed their probation period.
Will they will be suspended ??????
Can they claim permanancy ???????
What will be their future ???????

Details of the Appointing Authority is as follows:-
Post : Asst. Professor
Department of Architecture & Town Planning,
Faculty of Engineering & Architecture,
Jai Narain Vyas University, Jodhpur (Rajasthan)

Kindly send your legal advise........

Thanks & Regards........

What should We Do now ?

I joined my company in Feb 2008. They had provided me offer letter only after submission of original documents. In the offer letter it was mentioned that I will be in 30 days observation period and then an formal appointment letter will be issued. Our company is a private limited company. But yet no appointment letter has been issued. Our company does not provide us any pay slip. Simply they hands over an account payee cheque. They are even not maintaining EPF. As per our bond agreement. If we will leave job before 6 months, We will have to pay for our 1 month salary. They are not providing us any Casual leave or Emergency leave. But when someone leaves company, they are not returning our original documents and keep us harassing for their original certificates.
They are not giving us any leave except 7 leaves in a month. If in any case we are absent for a day. They cuts Rs. 1000 per day from our salary. That too is no where mentioned and simply deducted from our salary cheque. We can not even produce valid reasons for our absence.
Even the company had issued us a Identity card where it is clearly mentioned "This is not a proof of employment". We have even no proof that can prove we are employee of the company except attendance register at gate. As per rules of company we will not receive any experience letter if we will leave before 6 months.

I am really upset after joining such company. And filling like slave for 6 months. Can any one please suggest what should I do to receive my certificates from the company so that I could leave it. And can a company in India is allowed to take certificates and do not return them even after full filing leave procedures.

urgent help needed

Dear Sir/ Madam,

4 of us joined e commerce company in Bangalore on September 2006 through a consultancy, we have signed for a 11 months fixed agreement. According to the 11 months fixed agreement, the agreement has been expired on the October 2007.

Now we have resigned from the job with effect from 14th of May 2008 and we are serving 1 month notice period. So our last service day will be june 14th. Now we are very much concerned about our salary, PF and relieving letter as the company is telling that the salary will be credited on the june 30th.

Now the consultancy says that it is not their policy, but the process they follow during the resignation for all the companies.

Since we don't have any fresh appoitment letter made yet, in case of any discrepancy, how do we have to proceed legally?

We kindly request you to revert to us at the earliest regarding these issues.

Thanking you for your support.
