Notice period and next relieving letter

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

I informed my new employer that my last working day at my current employer would be the 4th June, however I had some outstanding work that lead to my employment there being extended by three days so my relieving letter date will show my last working day as being the 7th of June.

I'm due to start at my new employer on the 13th of June and I'm wondering if the leaving date mismatch between what I originally told them and the revised date that will be on the relieving letter will cause any problems?

Unlikely. It doesn't come close to overlapping the start date with your new employer, so they've no particular reason to care. (If it did overlap, then it goes without saying it'd definitely be an issue you need to deal with.)

If you're worried it might cause issues, just send an email to HR (at the new company) saying that you agreed to stay at your old employer a couple of extra days, so your last day there will now be the 7th as oppose to the 4th. They can then update their records (if they need to), and you'll likely get a "thanks for letting me know" response.
