Update- ex-org screwed up BGV data

Context- https://share.gvine.app/f9px4N8yWVNYJA1a9

Thanks to everyone who responded! I am super stressed cz of the situation and counting on the community because i’ve got nowhere else to turn to. It’s going to be a long post, but please keep up if you think you can remotely find a solution to this🙏🏻

In my post, I mentioned that my relieving letter states the date as "Dec," as verbally communicated by my ex-employer. However, today when I requested the letter from HR, they went back on their words and they indicated it would show October to align with their records for audits which would otherwise create a discrepancy since my final settlement was in October.

Now, my resume states my experience until December, prompting questions during interviews about why I left in December. However, for background verification form that i had to urgently submit today, I listed my last working date as October because supporting docs will mention october only and i was out of time & options.

  1. Will this two-month discrepancy on my resume cause significant issues? Are the dates in resume and BGV form matched? If not, whats given more preference?

  2. How do I explain the advance payment reflected in my payslip? If the new org comes to label it as severance pay, I lack evidence to prove otherwise, especially since my resignation was verbal.

  3. Will my new manager come to know of the disparity between my resume and BGV data?

  4. ⁠I need to provide last 3 months payslips and i told new HR I'm seeking payslips for November and December. Now, My ex-employer can't provide them as well since payment was earlier. How do I cover up and offer payslips to HR for Aug-Sep-Oct instead? How do I explain the Oct payslip discrepancy mentioned in point 3?

Thank you again everyone, and i advance. Looking forward to a way out from this mess🙏🏻

For 1 and 2, I would again say that honesty is the best policy; let the new org HR know about this situation.

For 3, if it's a big company then your manager won't get to know about it; if it's small and/or managers in your new org are supposed to look into such things; then your manager will know about it.

If it's the latter case then you can be honest about your situation with your manager as well.

In general, manager shouldn't be caring about it as long as you are not faking your skillsets; which is not applicable in your case.

For 4, as I mentioned for 1 & 2; keep your new org HR in loop and ask him/her that in this situation would it be fine if you submit from Aug-Oct; and they would say yes only otherwise will guide you with the steps to follow which will be in adherence to the new org policies.

So please don't stress too much; just be honest about your situation and proactively discuss these things; you will be sorted.

Wishing you the best!

Don’t overthink… for such cases be full transparent… since they hired you… most probably this bg verification won’t take much toll as there nothing illegal but discrepancy in releving date discuss with employer once you join there. Nothing will happen
