Can’t sign off the job for next 3 month from the date appraisal made.

Hello Everyone,

I am working as an HR Executive in a Startup IT Company. I was asked to modify the Performance Appraisal policy of my company. Can I add a point in the policy that the employee can't sign off the job for the next 3 months from the date the appraisal is made? If they do so, the company will not provide the experience/relieving letter to the member.

Kindly shed light on my query.

Thank you

What is the rationale behind such a clause? Such clauses are not legally sustainable. Companies can retain employees and lower employee turnover by implementing employee-friendly and progressive policies only. Such restrictions will only compel employees to find other ways to overcome them. No employee can be held by compulsion.

Thank you, Nathrao, for your suggestion!
