Bond under Service Contract.

Can any agreement/contract signed by an employee, having around 12-14 years of working experience, and not been sent on any special training opt for resigning for better prospects before the expiry of the Bond period of 2 years.
The terms of Bond under Service Contract only being a Binding by the employer upon the Employee to work for 2 years, or else pay to the Employer a sum of Rs. 400000/-  and interest @ 15% P.A.  for delay in payment of the Rs. 400000/-.Upon the Employee making such payment the Contract will be Null & Void.

What steps can be taken by the employee to ensure he recieves his full & final settlement on the last date of his notice period.

Regards,
Mishrajg.

There is no problem if you are serving the notice period. You are entitled to full and final settlement.

Thanks for your reply, however I had missed out in stating that if the Employee opts to resign for better prospects before the expiry of the 2 years Bond period.

If you have breached the terms of the contract, then the employer can sue you for the liquidated damages of Rs.4 Lacs. But you can always contest and establish that there was no loss or damage to the employer.
