Hi Guys,
I would like to know something about blacklisting of employees. Is there any way to do it? Some employees leave companies on a very bad note; sometimes they just disappear (abscond). So if a company wants to threaten them, it always says that we will blacklist you! Is there any firm out there that holds the current list? How can you access that? Guide me!
Thanks,

Dear HR,
In case an employee is involved in a breach and other violations of policy that lead to termination, I would like to know how a company can blacklist him from the industry. Is there any site or forum for this?

You can terminate him and forget it. The rest, you need not worry about where he goes and what he does. You can't tell the whole world that he is a fraud, etc. Jaane do yaar, our politicians engage in corruption in lakhs and crores, yet they are still popular. Then he is merely an employee.

Well, I would suggest the same.
For the IT/ITES industry, NASSCOM is the governing body. They have introduced something known as the National Skills Registry (NSR), which is overseen by Mr. Som Mittal. You can look it up on Google.

Hi, I am working in the IT industry. I have an offer from a company that hires employees on their payroll and sends them to work with an MNC company. Initially, I accepted their offer but later I declined it because I don't find it safe. Subsequently, both companies threatened me that they would blacklist me at NASSCOM. Both companies are IT majors. Can they do this? I have not signed any documents with them yet. Is there a blacklist that they can circulate among all IT companies? Please guide me.

Hello,
First, let's set things straight. Indian companies threaten employees under the name of "blacklisting" them, so that they cannot get a job in the future. However, if you leave a company with short notice, absconding, or insubordination, the employer cannot blacklist you from future employment.
If an employee finds out that a particular employer is preventing them from future employment, they can sue the employer for an ungodly sum of money in court and WIN!! The employer will have to face the consequences.
So, don't ever, ever think about blacklisting an employee. Things don't work that way; what you see as unfair may not be unfair to everybody. If an employee disappears or absconds from your organization, think about what you can do to decrease attrition rates, instead of taking unlawful shortcuts. That is the correct route.

Hello,
First, let's set things straight. Indian companies threaten employees under the guise of "blacklisting" them, so that they cannot secure a job in the future. However, if you leave a company with short notice, abscond, or show insubordination, the employer cannot blacklist you from future employment.
If an employee discovers that a particular employer is hindering their future job prospects, they can sue the employer for a substantial sum of money in court and win! The employer would then face serious consequences.
Therefore, never consider blacklisting an employee. Things do not operate in that manner; what may seem unfair to you may not be unfair to everyone. If an employee goes missing or absconds from your organization, consider ways to reduce attrition rates instead of resorting to unlawful shortcuts. That is the appropriate course of action.
Avoid getting entangled in a class-action lawsuit, as it would be highly detrimental to the company and the thousands of employees working there.

First of all, find out why the employee absconded. There has to be some reasons behind it. Even if the employee absconds, just forget about him. If the employee has behaved unethically, that doesn't mean the organization should also behave unethically. The power of networking, if abused, is more dangerous than a spurious case of absconding.

Hi, I recently joined an international finance company in a metro city. However, after joining the company, I found that the cost of accommodation in the city is very high and not affordable on my salary. Therefore, I decided to quit the job. I hesitated a little to face my HR to convey my decision, as it was only 5 days since I joined. So, I returned from the city without informing anyone.
After 2 weeks, I received a letter from my company stating that I was terminated from my job. Exactly a month later, they asked me to pay a sum of 18,000 as a notice fine. Now, I seriously don't know what to do as I cannot afford to pay such a large amount. I also fear whether they will file a suit against me or blacklist me. Please guide me.

I think to blacklist any employee is a purely a concern between the company and the employee. It should not be extended to other companies, even in the same sector, unless the offense is a legal issue. Other issues such as leaving the job without notice or refusing to serve the notice period are common charges that can be committed by anyone who finds a good opportunity.
Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

I had offer from CTS, my background verification completed before on-boarding and the BGV was negative. In this case CTS would blacklist me for future.

Handling Post-Employment Issues with Former Employers
I have worked in a US-based MNC in India. Due to personal issues, I resigned from the company and later secured a job abroad. I have received all necessary documents from my previous employer (relieving letter, F & F settlement). However, a month after my departure, I received a call from my HR via WhatsApp and message stating that I had downloaded some content from the company's site. To complete the formalities, they are asking me to visit my previous office.
I have just started a new job, and I cannot afford to spend a lot of money to attend this interview. They are threatening to blacklist me (as per US law), which may impact my future employability. I suggested conducting the interview via video conference, but they are not open to that idea.
Can anyone advise me on how to handle this situation professionally? How can they reach out to an ex-employee through social messaging platforms?

I was shortlisted in a big MNC at a senior position but then I got to know that the verification was negative, and the HR told me that this was because as per them one of the companies in which I worked three years back (for six months) is a scam company. The company is not a scam and has reputable memberships. How do I deal with this situation? The company is not a scam, and moreover, is it possible to reject a candidate due to this reason? Or is the HR not giving the true story?
