Hi Friends,
I am new to this site. I am facing a big problem. I received an offer from company X and I joined. After 2 months, a background verification was conducted by my current company, and the overlapping of joining and relieving dates from my previous companies became a significant issue. At that time, I didn't notice and didn't take much care about my future. Let me explain the problem clearly.

The relieving date from my first company is 20th October 2008, and the joining date for the second company is 5th October 2008, which has become a big issue. During that time, I was in the notice period for the first company, so my second company asked me to join immediately due to a need for resources. They asked me to join promptly. How can I resolve this issue? If I fail to submit any documents, my current company will terminate my employment. Moreover, this could also pose a problem with any future companies.

Please help me.

Hi,

It is better that you ask your previous company for a relieving letter stating the date on which you were actually relieved from your previous position. If you joined your new company on 5th October, then your previous employer cannot issue you a relieving letter with a date of 20th October.

Thanks & Regards,

Have you company already fired you ? You can say them that u are in this situation because of their urgency.Otherwise you could have joined after 20th Oct.

Thank you for replying. My company has not fired me; I received an email from HR requesting necessary documents, stating that I will be fired if they are not provided. The issue is ongoing. Yesterday (02/06/08), my second company sent an email acknowledging that I am in a three-month notice period. Due to a project emergency, they requested me to join immediately. They have sent this information to HR. Is this sufficient, or do I need to provide any additional documents? I am awaiting HR's response. Today, they will finalize this issue.

Dear Nilanjanag,

HR is on leave, and there is no one else available to advise me on the documents I need to submit. When I inquired about this, some people mentioned that this email is sufficient, and I should wait for HR. If you have any idea about the documents I can submit, please let me know. I will try to gather those before receiving an email from HR.

Thank you.

Hi,

1. Haven't you informed HR about this date overlap before joining? Why are they suddenly making it an issue?

2. Have you received salary from your previous employer until the 20th of October? If they have paid you until the 5th of October, you can ask them to send you an email stating that you have been paid until the 5th of October. This will prove that you have not received salary from two companies simultaneously.

I informed HR regarding this issue and also sent an email. At that time, they only asked for the exact dates of my previous companies. After receiving the email, they did not mention that it was unacceptable or against company policies; they simply sent me the offer letter. Even at the time of joining, they did not raise this issue.

The first company where I was relieved on October 20th, I submitted my resignation letter in August and was in the notice period until October. They paid my salary in advance and advised me to look for new jobs as the company was laying off employees. Due to an emergency situation, my second company requested me to join immediately. Both my first and second companies paid me until the 20th. My second company also sent an email stating that they took me in due to an emergency and were waiting for HR confirmation.

This situation is causing me sleepless nights. I am worried that this issue will persist wherever I go, turning it into a career problem rather than just a problem with this company.

If you informed the company before joining, then they shouldn't make it an issue now. You should clearly show the HR the email that you sent before joining. After how many days of joining the company did HR inform you of this issue? I think this will be okay, and the company will accept you. Don't worry.
