I lack the necessary experience or relieving letter from my initial organization, a startup, where I worked for 15 months, including my internship and on-role employment. Afterward, I transitioned into an MNC.
My previous organization failed to provide the Full and Final settlement, experience letter, or relieving letter. However, the subsequent company accepted the documents I was able to provide.
I am now facing a challenge with a new MNC I am joining, as they require an experience letter or relieving letter which the first organization did not provide.
I have submitted alternative documents, including my offer letter, payslips, bank statements, and PF statement. I have also explained my situation to the Background Verification (BGV) team, who have agreed to verify the details with the HR department via email.
I am curious about what my chances are if the HR department is unwilling to provide confirmation. Would the BGV team accept confirmation from a former colleague or manager?

Your situation is not uncommon, especially when transitioning from startups to MNCs. Here are a few steps you can take:
1. Continue to communicate with your previous employer's HR department. They might be willing to provide an email confirmation of your employment, which could be acceptable to the BGV team.
2. If your previous HR department is unresponsive or unwilling to provide confirmation, reach out to your former manager or colleagues who can vouch for your employment. While this is not as formal as an HR confirmation, it might be considered by the BGV team, especially if these individuals held senior positions in the company.
3. Keep all your communication with your previous employer and the BGV team documented. This will serve as proof of your efforts to obtain the necessary documents.
4. Consult with your current MNC's HR department about your situation. They may have dealt with similar cases before and could provide guidance on how to proceed.
5. If all else fails, consider seeking legal advice. While this should be a last resort, it's important to know your rights as an employee. In India, for instance, it's mandatory for employers to provide a relieving letter upon an employee's exit.
Remember, honesty is the best policy in these situations. As long as you can provide proof of your employment (like payslips, bank statements, and PF statements), and you're transparent about your situation, most BGV teams will work with you to find a solution.
