The employee should always consult elders in the family, competent and experienced well wishers, lawyer/law firm before signing on the dotted line.
It is better to consult in advance than to repent later.
The emotional outbursts won’t fetch any relief.
The company shall always claim you signed by your free will.
It shall be appropriate to show the advertisement for the job, interview call letter, selection letter, offer letter, appointment letter, standing orders of the company, bond, stinkers/show cause notice/notice/charges leveled by company/Inquiry conducted by company, termination order, legal notice demanding bond money etc… to a competent and experienced labor consultant/service lawyer in person, give inputs in person, spend some quality time with your lawyer, and understand the merits, and then proceed under expert advice of your lawyer. Is there any clause on arbitration in the agreement??? You must not conceal anything from your lawyer.
It is reiterated that the ground and reason for creating the agreement e.g: employee was beneficiary of any special favor, concession, training at the full/part cost of employer or not….and based on such reasons was there any breach of the service agreement/undertaking signed by employee………..and due to breach of the agreement by employee ……any damages suffered by employer…. legal injury suffered by employer…….should be looked into by a competent and experienced labor consultant/service lawyer-law firm specializing in such cases.
If at all mater lands up in court, the courts can assess and decide the reasonable cost which won’t be higher than the amounts expressed in agreement.
The court may decide that the mitigating the cost of damages is not necessary……..
