Hi,
I have recently joined an organization. I have a clause in my offer letter which states that I need to pay a certain sum of money if I leave the organization within a period of 1 year because the company invests time and money in my training. There is another clause in the appointment letter that specifies a probationary period of 3 months to become a confirmed employee. If I resign within this period, I have to serve a 15-day notice period.
My question is, if I leave the organization within a month of joining due to unforeseen situations (such as family transfer, health issues, etc.) and do not even wait for my confirmation period of 3 months, do I need to pay the bond money?

The employer has appointed you in good faith, and they might have incurred some notional costs directly or indirectly. An employee gives returns to the employer after a certain period through productivity. Until that time, the employer invests money in human assets. Leaving an organization for a genuine reason is acceptable, e.g., prolonged health issues, and the employer may accept your request based on merit. Leaving an organization for a family transfer may not be a valid reason for resignation as there are no boundaries in the competitive world.

No friends, this kind of bond is not legal. A bond can only be signed if the person has been hired through campus recruitment or if the hired person will receive any special training for which the company will have to incur additional expenses apart from the regular ones. Regarding the probation period, this is a standard practice in the corporate sector.
