Legal Question in Technology Law in India

29.09.2013

Dear Sir / Madam,

Asking an employee to sign a performance or service bond of any nature whatsoever, being bonded labour, is against the principles of natural justice, and hence is illegal and a criminal offence. An employee is free to choose and work for any organization he / she so wishes to, of his / her own free will. You should ask the Company to provide you with work that you like to do, based on your discussions at the time of the interview with the Company officials and HR, and if they had agreed to it, and have thereafter given you a totally different nature of work which does not suit your qualification and experience, tell them that you are giving them one month to provide you with the work that was agreed in the interview, failing which you should tell them clearly, that you will resign from service.

Regards,
