Hi All, In our organization we hired freshers for our company.
After completed the training period we used to provide confirmation at the same. But suddenly employees are absconded after getting the confirmation.
Here we are facing issues like (Training Expenses / 6 months of efforts / Replacement of employee).
Normally we had hold their salary / Relieving Letter.
Is there any legal possibility to hold the employees? Like Bond / contract / Getting original documents.
Kindly advice me on this.

Hi,
Yes many companies are following Training Agreement / collection of security cheques especially for Trainees.
However please analyze the reason as to why they abscond. Try to gather some information through their colleagues or absconded employee itself if you were able to reach.
Find out whether it is due to long work hours?, Lack of career growth ? training imparted not up to the mark?. I think identifying the root cause and implementing corrective measures would be more beneficial.
Employers have no right to retain original certificates.
If your training involves costs like software, licenses, then you may have proper training agreement in place, drafted by an advocate. The training agreement should be brief with mention about scope of training, training expenses involved, period of training, liquidated damages in case of violation of training period etc.

Hi,
Normally for Trainees employers use to have Training Agreement and for experienced category Indemnity Bond will apply. But I would suggest not to make for all. Human resources are asset for any company and we cannot compel them to stay for long using Bonds.
Rather cultivate a people friendly work environment. Have one to one session regularly. Have employee engagement activities in place. Introduce employee welfare. Bring in reward system etc.

Dear Monika, I want to ask some questions to you regarding the bond agreement with employees. 1. Why do you want to do bond with employees ? 2. Is this a good practise for HR ?

Dear Ravi,
this is true that bond is not a good thing.
but mainly we face issues.-
1. employee who is generally under 30 thousand salary left organization before a year.
infact we mention in our employment offer/ appointment letter they have to serve at least 1 month notice but still they basically serve 15 days notice or in a month notice they don't come regulary.
you would say that make a good environment for employees then I will say here we have only 8 hours job and very lenient attendance policy. Bosses doesn't come regularly so no pressure of their presence. I mean its stress free environment.
but just for some thousands rupees employee move. It creates issues for us...again recruiting cost.
