Is it legally sound for an Indian IT company to include a clause in their employment agreements requiring trainees to reimburse 30% of their training costs if they leave within a year of completing the program? Could such a clause be challenged in court?
Best Answer
Indian law generally permits companies to recover training costs, but such clauses must be reasonable and not overly burdensome. A 30% reimbursement clause might be challenged in court, particularly if the training was generic and not specific to the company’s requirements, or if the employee leaves for reasons beyond their control.
