Dear Cite HR,
I work for an small IT company with 100+ employees. I interviewed a candidate and during his interview he accpeted to jopin within 15 days. But now he extended his notice period and conveyed that he's interested to join but due to some issues he can join only after 15 days. Kindly help me how to sort out this issue.
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Lavanya kumaresan.
It is not clear from your query as to whether you have issued him any Offer/ Appointment letter where your have mentioned any time limit within which he needs to join or it is simply during interview that he had assured to join within 15 days. If you haven't issued any Offer/ Appointment letter, he is under no obligation to join you at a date fixed by you. No action can be taken against him.

Hi Lavanya.
Yes there is no any legal binding as shared by other friends & it happens with many of the organisations across the sectors & mostly with IT/ITES
If at all you feel he/she is potential candidate it is better to wait for 15days more to consider on board.
It is always advisable to have back-up option also as there chances that once offered the job there might be no show

I agree with Sh Jeevarathnam that there is no harm in waiting for 15 days (which in my mind is not a big time gap), if you really keen to have him in your fold. The organization will not suffer without him.

Dear all,
Thanks for the comments!!!
I agree with those points you have mentioned.
Still, the issues like No show during interviews or On-boarding is very much dissappointing.
But still no remedy for such things in labour law.
As said lemme wait till Nov 10th. Hope for the best.
