Legally speaking you can recover the full amount which the company has spent on honouring the contract. If the company has paid one way air for joining duties, it cannot recover the amount for the return fare which the employee may have not utilised. However in such cases the good companies take a lenient view depending upon degree of contribution of the employee during the period of association with the company and sometime waive of such recovery.

Hi Bindu,

The content of contract plays an important role in making a prima facie decision about the recovery of amount from an employee.

There may be some signing amount or bond amount which an employee has submitted
to an employer that amount can be calculated on %age basis with these 3 years.

A contract is that if employee fulfill all the terms and conditions otherwise it is broken. So employee should not receive even one third of amount.

I shall appreciate other's suggestions on this.

Have a nice day!

please note that the meaning of the term BOND or CONTRACT itself reveals that the advantage or the benefits can only be claimed if he/she (employee) completes or fulfills all the terms and conditions of the contract or bond.

if any of the conditions is left unfulfilled, the contract is broken. then it depends on the mere discretion of the employee or the payee. The wordings in the contract also matters which, if states, clearly that the incumbent is supposed to get the amount on proportionate basis, then only he is eligible for the same. otherwise not. do let me know about ur views on ur comments or what u have concluded from the suggestions u have got from the web on this matters of yours.

no the employee should not be given any money because he is breaking a contract and due to breach of the contract he is not liable to any money.
