Hi Seniors,
Please advise on this. I am working for an IT company as Tech Support for six months. Now, there is a family emergency in my native place, and I must go, but I am sure I am not coming back. In my offer letter, they mentioned that I have to pay Rs. 2 lakhs as a training cost if I leave the company within a two-year period, and I also have to serve a two-month notice period. I am willing to serve the notice period, but I cannot pay 2 lakhs. If I leave the company without the notice period and without paying the amount, will it affect my future? I hope a six-month gap doesn't matter. Is there any way to leave the company without paying 2 lakhs? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated. I must go back to my native place.
Thank you.

You have only three options here:
1) Pay the amount on serving the notice period.
2) Talk to your management and narrate the whole thing about your crisis. If the management agrees, you may have no other problem leaving the company.
3) Ask the management. After explaining your issue, try to give evidence of your emergency situation. In case they feel it is genuine, they may suggest further steps upon your request to deal with it as they deem fit. You can try replacing the candidate with similar caliber suiting your job requirement if the company accepts it.
The last resort would be to take the support of the court. If you are lucky, it may grant you relief or reduce the compensation or any other relief which may deem fit. However, explaining politely and making the management understand the emergency is always the best option.

Dear Mr. DVJ2012,
You are contradicting your own question in 3 different ways:
1. You must leave the company regarding your personal/family issues.
2. You may have to serve the notice period to avoid the payment of 2 lakhs, which is incurred as a training cost.
3. An experience gap of 6 months does not really hassle you, as you do not want to serve the notice period.
Hitherto, you might have to answer a few queries to accede to give you a better solution.
- When you know that you ain't coming back, then why do you have to keep the employer in the dark?
- When you are certain about the situation of paying 2 lakhs, why would you not give notice and do your F&F settlement?
- Nowadays, even a gap of 3 months prompts any employer to change their mind about hiring. Why would you really like to take a chance?
- You mentioned it as a training cost; have they given you any training relating to the process?
- The 2-year period mentioned in your query, was this a contract/bond or written in any part of your letter of appointment?
- Are you a confirmed employee, or are you still under probation?
Please mention the above. We might guide you to surpass this situation.

Hi,
I agree with Sharmila Das and others.
When it comes to interviews, most freshers lack the understanding of skills, business opportunities, and time frames required to execute from the customer's point of view. When freshers start their training periods in offices, they often believe that doing a job is as easy as attending an exam. However, the reality of the working world is quite different, and they soon find many reasons for leaving the organization.
Business involves searching for and exploring opportunities to turn them into realities, which is the crux of any business.
Youngsters are capable of understanding this concept but often fail to pay attention to future issues when they come to the table for discussions. A quick decision from them can jeopardize entire schedules.
Some companies, in pursuit of short-term gains, attract and lure freshers, creating unsustainable market conditions.
As evident from the uncontrollable attrition rates, despite many retention policies being available in companies.
It is the role of HR and tech teams to explain the reasons behind mitigating losses in case of leaving in the middle of a contract period. They should also explain the consequences of disciplinary actions and the missed opportunity for another aspiring candidate at the time of joining.
Thank you.

You have to pay the bond amount unless the management waives it. Without it, you will not get an experience certificate or a relieving order. The right of a service certificate is only for workmen under the Standing Orders Act.

Dear Sharmila,
Here are my answers for your questions:
- When you know that you aren't coming back, why do you have to keep the employer in the dark?
Yes, I am not coming back as I mentioned due to family reasons.
- When you are certain about the situation of paying 2 lakhs, why would you not give notice and do your F&F settlement?
I am ready to serve the notice period, but I cannot pay 2 lakhs, as it is a huge amount.
- Nowadays, even a gap of 3 months pushes any employer to change their mind about hiring. Why would you really like to take a chance?
If they ask me to pay the entire amount, what would be the next option?
- You mentioned it was a training cost. Have they given you any training related to the process?
They did not provide any training at all.
- The 2-year period (as mentioned in your query), was this a contract/bond or written in any part of your letter of appointment?
It was mentioned in the offer letter. There is no contract/bond signed.
- Are you a confirmed employee, or are you still under probation?
I received the confirmation letter before my probation period ended.
Thank you.
