Dear Expert,
WE have conducted a specilized 2 year training with experts from foreign universities as faculty & certification by the foreign university which is also recognized a reputed university of India as a post graduate programme. On completion of said training course the employees are expected to serve us as faculty to take forward our local training programmes.Though we have not bound them by any bond / Agreement for minimum service to be rendered, the only clause in their offer letter is the Notice period of 2 months by either side. But its a matter of understanding & trust they serve us atlease for 2 years.If an employee is leaving us even without giving the Notice period also, what are the remedies available to the Institute.riven

The said clause in the offer letter can be legally enforced. You can issue a legal notice.riven

Mr Moorthy
You can enforce your right by claiming the costs incurred by the company towards training the employee by way of damages, however, since the company has no bond/agreement with the employee regarding the amount of service the employee has to put in after the training period no action can be taken.riven
