I work in a company it has bond for 2 years. I am right now an intern and got an offer from another company.

The other company wants me to join in July (it wanted me to join in April only but somehow I postponed it to July)

Now the problem is that I will get a referral bonus in August so I am planning to leave the first company in August.

But how do I work in the same company for 1 month (I will try to take sick leave in the first company and join the other company is it fine?

Also If I take sick leave for a month then leave the company then I wont have to pay any bond right as well?

Please help me I’m stuck.

this feels risky mainly because the issue is no longer just the bond but overlapping employment and attendance records which can create problems later from both companies side especially if payroll access logs or background checks start conflicting the part that usually matters most in these situations is what your current contract actually says about notice exclusivity and outside employment because people often focus only on the bond amount and ignore those clauses have you checked whether your internship agreement specifically mentions dual employment or misconduct around leave and outside work before planning the sick leave route

No I havent read it, but they will give me leaves for a week for college exams and 2 weeks sick leave I’ll take and for the last week I’ll do something on and off.
