Onboarding delay, how to handle it ?

Nov 30, 2021 12 Comments

I was suppose to join Y company after 2 weeks notice from X company, I want to join immediate without any gap becoz i do not want any paycut.

During my notice period i was in touch with Y company HR on all the formalities, but they was no information on my laptop. I make sure i ask this question, in reply they said its not their responsibility someone for IT ops will contact me.

Today is my Day 1 in Y company, and i havent received any call or laptop, Later someone from IT ops contacted my for address to ship to laptop and moving my start date for 1 week. How to handle this situation since i will be loosing my 1 week of pay? #tech #onboarding

    Unfortunately it happens to so many ppl while making a job change, check softly with HR of new company and register your concern and see if they compensate ? if not then be positive and take it as you enjoyed 1 week break between job change 😁

    I have my own version of story, in the past while transitioning between jobs, my offer was rescinded for no fault of mine just 1 day before my joining and I struggled big time for ~ 2 months as a jobless here in USA on H1B πŸ˜‚ I swore that day I won’t resign current employer until I officially complete ~ 1 week with new employer πŸ€“ … it is OK legally and technically

      That’s very scary. Is overlap really ok? Can it cause any trouble in future for transfers, extensions, GC filing etc? I mean is it mentioned explicitly by USCIS anywhere?? Or else they can use this as a reason for RFEs.

    Had this happen to me, they may be able to start you on insurance retroactively, but if they moved your start date it will be challenging to get paid for that week.
