Worried About Background Checks? How to Handle Past Absconding Without Documents

I absconded from a company within two weeks in the year 2020. That company opened my PF account and also marked the PF exit date. No PF transactions or salary transactions were done as I left in two weeks.

After that, I pursued an MBA and got into an MNC. I didn't mention that company ever in my resume or company form as I absconded from it in just two weeks and have no documents. Will the new employer find out about my previous employment, where I absconded, using UAN?

If so, what should I do to convince my new employer, as I have no relieving letter or other relevant documents from that employer, and they are not agreeing to provide anything since I absconded?

Hi, Yes, UAN will reveal past employment history. How the employer will react to it depends on the employer. We cannot predict it. So it's better to wait and see for the reaction.

Understanding UAN and Aadhar Card Linkage

UAN has no link with your Aadhar Card. As you mentioned, the old employer should have your PF UAN number and also mark the exit date. Kindly provide the service history from your UAN to your previous employer, including contribution details. Additionally, ensure clear communication about your educational period. Based on documentary evidence, your current employer will easily understand the situation.
