A friend of mine is working in a company as HR Officer.She has been working in the company for the past 8 months. As per the Appointment letter she ought to give one month notice in case of giving up the job. There is yet another condition saying the employee has to pay 4 months salary if she wants to be relieved of the job within one year of joining, provided she has been given any training. But no special training was given to her in the last 8 months. Now she has given one month notice as she wants to leave the job. Now the management demands 4 months salary. please advise as to how to deal with this situation.

You say that she was not given special training. So she was given training (any).So she is liable to refund 4 months salary as per the terms of agreement.
