Hi Anup, We are also in the process of sending most of our employees abraod. A few months ago I was trying to get some literature on how an agreement between an employer and employee who shall be going on-site, must look. While I confess I could not find much, hope what I mention here helps you.
Terms and Conditions Draft for Onsite Assignments
1.You may be selected and sponsored by the Company for training assignments with company's associates or other institutions abroad. You will diligently and beneficially, take part in such training and assignment. In such event, you will continue to serve the company after such training, for a minimum period as may be stipulated. (Its my view that the minimum period must be 6 months, suggestions however are welcome)
2.Before proceeding on an overseas assignment you will be required to give the company, a written undertaking for dedicated services to the client, completing the work/project assigned and timely return to resume work in India. The details of such assignments including reimbursement of necessary expenditure will be communicated to you before your proceeding on such assignments.
Note: As for sample written undertaking and also what the penalty for non completion of task must be, me too looking for the same but it surely wont be available on the internet.
3.This is a position of continuous responsibility and does not entail payment of extra time or overtime.
4.While serving the Company, you shall give and devote the whole of your work day exclusively to your duties with the Company and shall not engage yourself, directly or indirectly without prior consent in writing of the Company with or without remuneration in any trade, business, occupation, employment, service or calling which is similar to or the same as that carried out by the Company nor shall you undertake any activities which are contrary to or inconsistent either with your duties and obligations under this appointment or with the Company's interests.
5.You shall not, at any time during the continuance or after the termination of your employment hereunder, divulge either directly to any person, firm or Company or use for yourself or another any knowledge, information, formulae, processes, methods, compositions, ideas or documents, concerning the business and affairs of the company or any of its dealings, transactions or affairs which you may acquire the company or any of its dealings, transactions or affairs which you may acquire or have to your knowledge during the course of and incidental to your employment.
The first 3 points are the main ones while the next 2 are generic in nature and can also be included in any appointment letter.
Hope this helps.
