Detailed Report:
Often times, hiring companies ask for a relieving letter or a letter of experience from a prospective candidate in order to avoid any discrepancy regarding double employment or misuse of opportunities available. Recently one such incident took place where an employee produced a fake relieving letter that stated his tenure of service as a Senior AR Caller to be between 15th January 2018 to 31st January 2020 while on verification, it was discovered that the employee had served in the previous company between 15th April 2019 to 5th September 2019 which mentioned his designation as an Executive-AR Calling. The ex-employers also stated that post this period, the employee had been absconding and no such relieving letter was issued by them to any employee who left the job midway and went missing.
It was further deduced that this case has been particularly a fraudulent one where the employee manipulated the data and forged the relieving letter in order to secure a better opportunity.
Cases as these are not uncanny at a time when online hiring and selection is the current norm to ensure the safety of the employees, however, it has also become strenuous for the HR department to keep a track of the employees and their behavior. It is therefore recommended to conduct a thorough background verification check to ensure the company data and capex are never misused or compromised and the trade-secret remains confidential.
