I used to work in a small tech start-up for about 3 years. We had a lot of salary issues, and the situation got worse with about 3-4 months of salary delays. The CEO wasn't responding to follow-ups. So we went legal against the company, and after that, the majority of us left.
My ex-employer is causing issues in background verification for all of us. We are not sure whether he is giving negative feedback or ignoring the verification emails.
I got placed at Deloitte India. Will Deloitte understand this and consider my documents (pay slips, bank statements, experience letters, onboarding letters) and legal documents and give me an exception, or will they revoke my offer?

Dear member,
Your question is: Will your future employer understand the situation, consider your documents from the previous job (pay slips, bank statements, experience letters, onboarding letters, and legal documents) and give you an exception, or will they revoke their offer?
I think you are worrying unnecessarily. You have stated the facts. Drawing the wages for the work rendered is a legitimate demand. You have filed a lawsuit for not obliging it. You have stood for your rights, and standing for one's rights cannot be an offense. If the company does not disregard the adverse background verification report by the hostile previous employer, then it shows its values and culture. It would not be wrong to forego employment in such a company! But before foregoing the employment, check with the future company authorities whether they are ready to accept an affidavit from you that declares bona fide facts.
Anyway, let us hope that such a contingency does not arise.
Thanks,

Hi,
Have you collected your relieving letter and service certificate from the current employer? If they have issued you a positive letter, you need not worry about background verification. An employer cannot provide two types of ratings: one positive and the other negative.

The ex-employer is not legally bound to respond to the background verification request made by the present employer. Your ex-employer can only be bound by an order of the court. So all the affected employees take shelter under the court.
