Resignation without offer letter with a bond

Hi, 

My wife is suffering from health issues so she is unable to continue in her current job. But she has signed a Letter of Intent having a bond of 1 year (not on stamp papers). She was told she will get an offer letter on her joining date but she has not received it even after working for 2 weeks. Now she doesn't wants to continue the job. Does this imply that she has to pay the bond amount?



Quick Summary
This discussion addresses whether an employee is liable for a bond amount after resigning from a job without receiving a formal offer letter, despite signing a Letter of Intent with a bond clause. The consensus suggests that a Letter of Intent not on stamp paper may not be legally binding, and therefore, the employee might not have to pay the bond. However, it's advised to review all documents carefully for a definitive legal opinion.

No. An plain paper Letter of Intent is not a legally enforceable document, for any legal purposes, whatsoever. Keep Smiling .... Hemant Agarwal Visit: www.chshelpforum.com
