My previous company delayed my relieving process by 10 days. Despite serving the notice period of 1 month successfully, my previous company's HR and managers forcibly asked me to serve for 10 more days in their company and didn't hand over my relieving and experience letter. Because of this delay, I was late in joining my new company by 10 days. Although I have kept my new company informed about the entire situation, can my new company reject my joining because of this issue? Or does my new company have the authority to negotiate further on my salary just because I couldn't join their company on the date we agreed upon when they extended their offer letter to me.

Dear Sanjay,
As per your query, I think that you have extended your date of joining by 10 days. If you have kept your new employer informed in writing, then I don't see any issue with your new employer extending your date of joining and allowing you to start 10 days later than originally planned. Typically, new employers are flexible for a person to join up to 10 days later, as they understand the time required for completing exit formalities.
If you have not communicated with your new employer in writing regarding your delayed joining, then your new employer has the right to reject your offer in case of a delay, as stated in the offer letter.

Dear Mr. Sanjay Anand,
In addition to Mr. Tajsateesh's query extended to you, I'd like to add a few which caught my glimpse while reading this sentence - {Or does my new company have the authority to further negotiate with me on my salary just because I couldn't join their company on the date we agreed upon when they extended their offer letter to me.} -- What does this mean, you were given an offer letter which has no salary specified? If yes, then what was the negotiating of salary all about means?
Appreciate if you can elaborate the above in detail to help resolve your query in a much conventional way possible.

It would have been appropriate to obtain an extension in the date of joining earlier. If you have not done so, then the employer has every right to cancel the offer.
You may request the employer now for a reconsideration explaining the circumstances.

Morally and ethically, it is not a good practice to reject the new incumbent on the ground of a 10-day delay in joining if the employer was kept in the loop properly. However, if during the process of keeping in the loop, the employer expresses that he will not accede to the request of delayed joining, then one cannot do anything. Besides, we have to think from the employer's angle also. There are a number of cases where the new incumbent promises to join on a particular date but strangely, for obvious reasons, does not join. The entire work plan of the employer goes haywire. So strictly speaking, the employer has every right to reject the new incumbent from joining the duty if he does not join on time.
