I got into one company during salary negotiation. I mentioned my current salary with an approximate amount, which was greater than my written CTC, as I always received a bonus way more than the written bonus included in the salary letter. I had proof of the bonus in the form of a bonus letter and payslip. Additionally, I mentioned that I had already had a conversation about a promotion and was expecting the promotion within the upcoming month, as it was confirmed. I asked HR that my current CTC would be more than the written one.

After that, I received the offer letter and noticed that I had been promoted within my organization during that period. Will that cause any issues in the BGV verification? Please answer.

You should consider what Learned Madhu Sir has pointed out about your communication skills, regardless of the final decision you make regarding joining the new organization.

Whether the background verification (BGV) would be affected cannot be answered by those of us who are external to your current organization. You will need to make an assumption based on the events there. It seems that you are currently in the notice period, so do not have second thoughts.

Dear Shubham,

Background verification processes can vary between companies, but they generally focus on verifying the information provided by the candidate during the hiring process. In your case, it's important to be transparent and ensure that the information you provided aligns with the actual details.

Documentation

Since you have proof of your bonus letter and payslip, it's a good practice to keep these documents handy. If the background verification includes a check on your previous employment and compensation, having these documents can serve as evidence to support your claims.

Communication

If there is any discrepancy between the information you provided during the negotiation and what is discovered during the background verification, it's crucial to communicate this to the HR department or the designated point of contact for the verification process. Explain the situation clearly and provide any necessary documentation.

Promotion

If you received a promotion after accepting the offer, this should not be a significant issue in most cases. However, it's advisable to inform the HR department of the change in your employment status as soon as possible to ensure that the verification process is aligned with your updated position and compensation.

Offer Letter

Review your offer letter carefully to ensure that it accurately reflects the terms discussed during the negotiation, including your current salary, bonuses, and any other relevant details. If there are discrepancies, address them with the HR department promptly.

Company Policies

Familiarize yourself with the background verification policies of the company you're joining. Some companies may have specific procedures for handling discrepancies, and understanding these policies can help you navigate the process more effectively.

In general, honesty and transparency are crucial during the hiring process. If you provided accurate information and can support your claims with documentation, any changes that occurred after the offer was extended should be manageable. If you have concerns, it's always a good idea to discuss them with the HR department to ensure a smooth and transparent verification process.

Thanks,
