Hi, I recently received an offer from Infosys with 5 years of experience. However, I only have documents for 4.6 years; for the first 6 months, I don't have any documents. The background verification form requires me to fill in 5 years of employment. Can I fill it for 4.6 years of employment and go ahead and join? Will this be a problem? Kindly suggest.
Thanks,

I would suggest you speak to the HR of the organization you are joining and explain that you are unable to produce the required documents for the first 6 months. I have also encountered many cases where individuals have worked as trainees in small organizations and did not receive any documentation. Therefore, I want to emphasize that one should never compromise on maintaining proper documentation. If you have dedicated your valuable time to an employer, it is essential to retain documentary evidence of your employment.
If you do not have an experience certificate, try to locate your offer letter, appointment letter, resignation email, relieving letter, salary slips, bank statements, or cash vouchers – anything that can confirm your employment with the specific company. Having these documents will assist you in persuading the HR department of the company you are joining. Make sure to inform them in advance since you still have time, and the requirement is only for the initial 6 months.
Best of luck!
