Hi! I had an employee reach out to me. As per her terms of employment with a multinational entity, she had to serve a mandatory period of 24 months which includes 12 months of probationary time. In case, she fails to serve this mandatory period of 24 months, she will be liable to pay a certain sum towards compensation fees. Due to unforeseen circumstances, she had to resign within 11 months and now the MNC is demanding some compensation back from her.
Is this allowed as per the laws in India? If so, how can she weave through this issue?

Hi,
What were the documents signed by the employee and what was the nature of work performed. Whether any specialized software /skill development training was given ? Whether any security cheques were deposited ? In the absence of security cheques there might not be any major implications except that they will serve termination.
Normally in any Agreement there will be some "way out " clause will be there like extended notice. Please check the terms and conditions thoroughly.

The employee is an IT Professional. There was an offer and appointment letter signed by the employee which had this clause mentioned in it. No security cheques were deposited as such. The employee had also diligently served the notice period in full.

Hi,
My assessment is that there will not be much implications except that they will serve termination / block list the employee for future requirement / will provide negative feedback incase of BGV.
However advise the employee to try for proper relieving without making any payment.. say by serving additional notice period ? if permitted.
