Dear HR Fraternity, I'm working in a company where I have signed a bond for 3 years & I have completed 1.6 year's. Due to job satisfaction and other health issues I have resigned .
I currently hold a good offer in the automobile industry, but I am required to pay a bond amount of ₹2.5 lakhs to my current employer.
I was on medical leave for one month (December 2024) without pay and resumed work thereafter. On18/02/2025, my current employer agreed to waive the bond amount and provide my relieving letter. However, today, they have informed me that I must pay the bond amount, with only the notice period being waived.I am seeking guidance on how to handle this sudden change in decision. What would be the best course of action in this situation?
