Why Is My Certificate of Employment Delayed? Seeking Insights on Possible Issues

Certificate of Employment Delay

Today, I asked my HR for a Certificate of Employment for some important matters, but she denied my request. She explained that they have something to fix first or need an urgent meeting to determine when they can release the Certificate of Employment.

Possible Reasons for Delay

Since my HR mentioned they need to address something important before releasing my Certificate of Employment, could there be circumstances where they failed to renew something, causing the delay?

What Needs to be Fixed?

What specific issue might they need to resolve before they can release the Certificate of Employment? I am seeking insight into what might need to be fixed before they can issue the Certificate. Any ideas?

Dear Hamber, we need to know why you would like to have a Certificate of Employment (COE). In the Indian context, employees apply for a COE during employment and after resignation. The former is requested to take a loan for a house or purchase a vehicle, etc. The latter is asked for so that it serves as proof of employment in the company.

In view of the above, we request you to provide the context of your request for the COE. If HR is saying that they need to fix something important before they can release the COE, can you surmise why they are saying so? Will they order some inquiry, and will you also be involved? Did you commit any misconduct, and now it has come to light?

There are many questions associated with your post. Please clarify.

Thanks,
