Hi all,
Considering the increasing number of cases where :
1. The candidate joins a company and leaves within 15-20 days
or
2. Accepts the offer and does not join(does not even inform)
We are planning to include a clause in the offer letter and also a clause in the policy handbook which might bind the candidate to pay us a penalty if he leaves within 3-6 months.
Please let me know the impact of the same and also your opinions.

Hi Sushma,
Analyse the situation probably insight from the exit interviews by third party may reveal certain findings which can prevent this situation.
To ensure this doesn't happen you can add a clause in the terms of acceptance that " copy of the acceptance of resignation is required to be furnished with 4 to 7 working days from the date of the acceptance failing which this offer letter stands null & void"..
Don;t think it is a good idea..why don't you look at this situation from their perspectives..also it would be deterant to potential employees ..reputation of the companies matter when it comes to recruitment and esp your employees are the brand ambassadors of the Company..
Cheers,
Rajat

I dont agree of having a legal clause in an appointment letter or in an employment offer. Cause it does not give a good impression to the employee. Instead we can write:
In case of acceptance of this offer, please let us know your decision within the next seven days, so that we can plan accordingly. Please submit a copy of your resignation letter duly approved by your present employer along with acceptance of our offer.
Since this letter represents initial offer of employment however; it does not constitute an employment letter which will be issued upon your joining.
