Background Check Woes: How Can I Fix My Overlapping Job Dates with HR?

Hi, I am currently facing a very serious problem regarding my recent joining in a new company. I joined the new company on 05/06/2017, and my previous company's relieving date was 13/06/2017. The issue arises during the background verification process due to the discrepancy in my relieving dates. Can you provide me with a solution to rectify this issue with the HR team?

Hi,

Are the dates correct? It seems you joined the new company before being relieved from the old company. So from 05-Jun-17 to 13-Jun-17, you were an employee of both companies (salaries from both employers). Joining a new company without being relieved from the old company is a conflict of interest. The above situation indicates dual employment on your part. The joining date of the new company should always be after the relieving date of the last company. Therefore, the concern raised by the background agency is valid.
