Abscond Issue - in BGC they found my BPO job and asked me to provide a service letter

I worked on BPO for 2months then I absconded and didn’t serve notice period. After I joined as fresher in IT company where they didn’t ask anything now I am having 2 years of experience in IT. I got a job in a reputed MNC with that IT experience and I joined now here in BGC they found my BPO job and asked me to provide a service letter of that BPO but I was absconded.

I contacted that bpo and asked them to provide a proper service letter but they are providing an absconding letter even i am ready to pay my notice period recovery and requested a lot but they are telling they don’t have such a process.

What can I do now could you please help me

Hi,

Of late, it has become very common among employees with less experience to abscond from duty without any information and without any sense of guilt. They perceive the same as their act of smartness, thinking they have evaded the notice period without any hassle. However, many realize their fault when they become entangled in situations such as background verification by future prospective employers.

Primarily, your act of leaving the BPO without information is a serious misconduct and is not at all acceptable. After a lapse of a two-year period, you are now approaching them with notice pay payment. It is now up to your ex-employer whether to accept it or not. Most employers will not accept such delayed notice period payments because, for the employer, notice period money is not the main concern; it is the moral fear among other existing employees that is their focus and is important to them.

If they accept the notice period payment from you, it will send the wrong signal to existing employees.

Now, you have two options. Try your best and plead with your ex-employer for a relieving letter. If they remain firm in their decision, it is better to approach the MNC where you have an offer and explain the situation to them. However, the probability of them accepting your reasons will be remote, in my opinion.

Thanks for the reply, lakshminarayanan due to my health issues my manager didn’t approved so I absconded that time but the bpo company is not accepting my notice period recovery now. Does MNC companies will accept absconded employees as I didn’t mentioned or included that in my resume or experience. If not what’s the solution to solve that

Hi,

As per your previous statement, you have mentioned the following:

"I got a job in a reputed MNC with that IT experience and I joined now here in BGC. They found my BPO job and are asking me to provide a service letter from that BPO, but I was absconded."

So, I presume they already know about your BPO employment.

Even if you haven't mentioned it on the resume, there are other ways to track it. For example, if you are covered under PF with the first employer, then through UAN login, the future employer can track your past employment.

Is there any chance to get it removed from UAN. Incase it won’t create problem for me in future

You cannot remove entries from PF or UAN at your own discretion. The record will remain.

Your only option is to explain to the current employer that you worked there for only 2 months and it is not relevant, etc., and you didn't take any certificate because it was not relevant to the work you wanted to do. The rest depends on the company and their attitude.

Hi,

Did you find any resolution to this? Did it cause any long-term consequences?

Hi,

I worked as a telecaller for a BPO for 3 months in 2019. Due to unavoidable health issues, I had to quit this job in an informal way. Now, I have a total of 5 years of experience in IT. I am planning to switch jobs. Will this cause any issues in the background verification process (BGV)?
