Dear Srirashmi,
For the recovery of the recruitment and training expenses in case of resignation of the employee before stipulated period, you need to insert this clause in the appointment letter. You need to mention explicitly what would be the amount that employee has to pay, what are the parameters of the recovery and what would be the process of recovery.
However, there lies catch in this arrangement. Many times newly joined employees have complained on this forum that the organisation did not provide any training however, they wanted employee to pay "bond money" for the short stay. Many times organisations have misused this clause and have asked employee to pay the amount even though he/she was terminated. Therefore, utmost care has to be taken to make sure that the policy is not executed unfairly. Does your organisation have that kind of maturity to avoid unjust implementation?
Thanks,
Dinesh Divekar
