Hi All,
I'm writing this on behalf of my friend. He had recently switched from a MNC to another in India as full time employee. In earlier company, He had submitted his resignation 2 months prior and served complete 2 months of notice period. On release date, he had submitted his ID, pass etc all to old company HR. At that time, incidentally some scrutiny process started on him, for which HR did not provide any release letter to him. They had asked him to postpone joining by a week.
My friend had waited for a week, but still no result came out. So he had joined new company by showing Resignation acceptance letter from old company HR. New company HR had told him that whenever he would receive the release letter, he should submit that to new Company.
This way one month passed and my friend got settled in new company.
Then one month letter Old company HR called him, informed that the scrutiny has been completed and asked him to collect the release letter. But they are saying they can not give post dated release letter (the date mentioned in original resignation letter from my friend).
This has got my friend into a bigger trouble as now he will be considered for dual employment for 1 month. Isn't it?
We are not sure of the HR laws and regulations.
So, can any of you experts guide us, how to proceed? Whether he should confess this to his new employer? Then he might loose his new job, isn't it? Kindly assist.
Thank you all in advance.
