Hi,
I would like to join a short-term course on HR. I came to know about Ajax Management as well as HR House in Bangalore. Are these institutes good to join? If so, which one is better? Please kindly reply if anyone knows about it. I am awaiting your valuable suggestions.
Thanks & regards

Mr. Rana,
Please sort out my problem as well. I am willing to leave my present company, but there is a clause in the appointment letter which states:
"In the event of your resigning before completing 12 months of service in our organization, you would be liable to pay 12 months' salary as compensation towards your expenses incurred for your training, etc."
This clause is mentioned in the appointment letter of every employee, whether a fresher or an experienced professional, at a junior level or in a higher position.
Now, Mr. Rana, please guide me. If I leave the organization before completing 12 months, can this clause make the company eligible to take any legal action against me, or is it just a tool to retain a candidate for at least one year?
The environment in the organization is so negative; even my manager is not supportive towards me. All this just makes me sit idle, not teaching me anything as I am a fresher. She neither provides me with any guidance nor any tasks to perform. If I try to take initiative, she questions me - "Why did you do that? Who permitted you? You are not allowed to do any such thing."
Since joining, I have been mainly using the internet, surfing various websites, and trying to enhance my knowledge and skills. However, for the past few days, my system does not have access to any network.
I do not know what to do. I am fed up with my manager's behavior and am willing to leave the company as soon as I secure a new job. Please help me figure out what steps to take and how to handle this situation.
It is just the start of my career, and I do not want to jeopardize it in any way.
You can also reach me via email at pramodgarg.pg@gmail.com.
Please help me.

Pramod, no trainings till now mean you can challenge the bond. Keep evidence handy.
There could be a different situation too, they hire freshers and don't want to lose out on employees after training them. That is the reason why they asked you to sign a bond. Trainings need not be formal always; it can skills acquired on the job too.
Best thing to do, sit with your manager and discuss. Ideally, he should brief you on what strengths they have identified in you, which training you would be undergoing, where you would be working, and your career path. Then decide your future course of action.
To keep yourself on the safe side, you can send him a mail too. Don't mention anything which can go against you.

Rana Sir, I am also thinking about sitting down and communicating thoroughly to discuss what they actually want. I will surely discuss my state of mind as well, but I do not have that much courage. Well, I am trying to collect all my strengths and will talk with her today itself.
Sir, what type of evidence are you talking about in my case?
Thanks a lot for your guidance.

Pramod, evidence could be emails/documents/etc. that support your stance later. You have mentioned that the clause of "12 months' salary in lieu of training" is included in every appointment letter across the company. Keep copies of signed contract letters for a couple of positions to safeguard yourself. Choose positions that are experienced "manager and above"... This is an unfair practice.
I have been associated with a company where the entire staff was on fixed-term contracts; not a single employee had indefinite employment. The owner faced a strike in the past, resulting in the company losing crores. After that, he never kept any employee on the payroll. Career is most important, and learning is key. One needs to work in a place with a good learning curve; learning makes us marketable.

Hi Rana Sir,
Nice advice. It simply means if the company will sue me, I will use appointment letters of others as proof that the company is practicing the same with other senior employees as well. It may also happen that they will not sue me and just deny providing me with the relieving letter and my full and final settlement. What do you think? Do small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and growing companies involve themselves in legal actions? Doesn't it harm their reputation in the market and in the court of law?
I have also heard that in legal proceedings, employees are considered weak, and the employee often wins the verdict. Well, whatever it is, it is very clear in your opinion that I can leave the organization without hesitating about anything. Please advice.
Thanks

They normally use it as a threat for the ill-informed public. You must have seen yellow-dog clauses (you will not join so-and-so union/engage in so-and-so activities) in contracts too. Even that is illegal, but it's popular.
