Hi All, I recently joined a company and signed an appointment letter for 3 years. There is no bond here.
I want to know whether the clauses and their policies are legal. They didn't inform me about these clauses during the interview and while giving an offer. Now I feel I am trapped.
Some of the clauses are as below:

1) No notice period is applicable till you complete 3 yrs. After 3 yrs only 1 month notice period applies.

2) Every year you need to apply for an appraisal and if the company gives a hike then you can't resign for the next 1 yr, even if you have completed 3 yrs in the company. And if you resign then you need to pay training costs, the non-compete costs for the entire tenure, appraisal, and any bonus received for that year.

3) For a particular year if you are not sure about employment, then you should not apply for appraisal as per their policies.(Risk is if you don't apply for an appraisal they will come to know that you are searching for some other job and they may find another candidate and remove you). Isn't this a trap?

4) If you resign before 3 yrs they won't give the relieving letter and the notice period applicable only after the completion of 3 yrs.

5) Login time is 8.15 am, and grace is 15 mins.If you come at 8.31 am, it's considered a late entry.2 late entries are allowed in a month. For 3rd late entry, half day leave will be deducted. If no leaves are available then it's LOP.

6) Lunch time is from 1 to 1.45 pm. If you log in at 8.31 am(1 min late) in the morning and log in at 1.46 pm(1 min late) after lunch, it's considered 2 late entries, and half-day leave will be deducted. These login rules are not mentioned in the appointment letter.

7) LOP they don't mention in the salary slip.

8)12 casual leaves in a year. Only 1 CL per month. If you take 2 CLs in a month it's LOP.PL
for every 20 days.PL you need to take a minimum of 3 days only.1 PL, not allowed.No sick leaves available.

9) For any dispute employee can go to court at his own cost and risk.

10) Now how to come out of this company before 3 yrs as no notice period applicable till 3 yrs and they won't give relieving letter if you resign before 3 yrs.I feel I am trapped.

You have recently joined...
Search for another job immediately and tell the new employer that the company is a bad employer so you are leaving in a very short time and not to consider that experience at all. In the next company, ensure you know the terms clearly.

As for the terms, my comments are below.

1) Its stupid, can't stand scrutiny of courts. In violation of Standing Orders. You can walk off without notice and show them a middle finger.

2) Appraisal process is normal and you generally need to fill in the form. Its not called apply anywhere, but its the same. Rest of the clauses are crap and you can ignore it. They will find it impossible to enforce it, but you will not get documents or get a bad BGV remark.

3) Even more stupid.

4) Leave right now. End the matter

5) Standard clause for morning sign-in, but no one does this for lunch. Raises many red flags. Again, leave as fast as you can.

7) Immaterial

8) Many companies follow this, but it violates shop & Establishment act and Standing Orders

9) That is standard. Why does it even need to be mentioned?
