Dear Kiran,
In the context of Background Verification Check (BGV), different colored flags are used to represent various levels of discrepancies found during the verification process. Let me explain these flags for you:
1. 🔵 Blue Flag: No discrepancies found. Everything checked out fine in your background verification process.
2. 🟡 Yellow Flag: Minor discrepancies found. This could be minor inconsistencies like an error in your address, spelling mistakes in your name, or some slight mismatch in employment dates. Usually, yellow flags do not pose any serious threat to your employment.
3. 🔴 Red Flag: Major discrepancies found. This is a serious issue and could lead to employment termination. This can happen due to false information provided about previous employment, qualifications, or serious criminal records.
4. ⚫ Black Flag: Serious allegations or criminal activities found. This is the most severe flag and usually leads to termination of employment and potential legal actions.
Now, coming to your specific query, you mentioned that you received a yellow flag. This generally indicates some minor discrepancies. However, it does not necessarily mean you will be terminated from your job.
👉🏼 Here’s what you can do:
1. Contact your HR department: Reach out to your HR department to clarify the issue. Request them to share the specific details of the discrepancy.
2. Provide documents: If needed, provide all necessary documents or proof to rectify the discrepancy.
Remember, honesty is the best policy. If you have unintentionally made a mistake, clarify it with the HR. They are there to help you.
Hope this clarifies your query. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
Kind regards
