Hi! I was working in an IT company (let's say 'X'). I received an offer letter from another company (Let's say 'Y') which led to my resignation from company 'X'. A day before I was supposed to start at the new company 'Y', I received an email stating that my joining date was delayed by 15 days. Consequently, I am now without a job for the next 15 days and uncertain if they will adhere to the revised date. I have received a confirmation email from the company stating that I will begin after the 15-day delay. Is it common for situations like this to occur? If they decide to further postpone my start date, what options will I have left? Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Dear Sir,
I hope you have thoroughly researched the company before accepting the offer. Ensure you have all the necessary documents ready to join the company on the specified future date communicated by them. It is essential to maintain constant communication with the new employer and confirm your availability to start on the given date. You can also inform them that based on their offer, you have completed the necessary procedures with your previous employer and are prepared to join. Additionally, you can address any financial concerns during the communication.
The first question to consider is whether this situation has occurred to you before. If there are further delays in the Date of Joining (DOJ), it is advisable to request all communications in writing, signed by a responsible official on the company letterhead with appropriate stamps. As for your third question regarding available options, I suggest providing them with a minimum of two opportunities to rectify the situation. The first attempt has already transpired, and the second is currently ongoing. If they persist in postponing the DOJ, it may indicate a lack of genuine interest in having you onboard. At this stage, aside from remaining optimistic and exploring alternative options, there are limited avenues to secure your career and financial stability.
I strongly recommend a personal visit to their office to meet with the relevant authority and obtain assurances in writing to protect your interests. It is also advisable to conduct a thorough check on the company's reputation in the market and among job seekers.
Wishing you the best of luck in your career.

Hi,
Same is my problem! The company is delaying the DOJ, and it's been 2 months. They call us almost every Saturday, mark our attendance, and ask us to leave. Every time we come, they delay it by a week or by 2 weeks. Can I sue them for the compensation or not? I guess I can.

When you are not even their employee, why are they marking attendance?
Are you attending any training on Saturdays? If yes, then you can wait for 2 or 3 weeks.
Are they asking you to sign attendance for 6 days in a single shot? (Are you signing attendance as if you have been to the office from Monday to Friday too, though you are not). If yes, then something is fishy. Stay away from the company.
