What legal remedies exist for delayed onboarding after employment offer issuance?

I, Vishal, received an offer letter for the position of Accountant (Work From Home) and completed all pre-joining formalities on 18 May 2026. However, I was neither provided the onboarding link nor the company laptop. Despite repeated follow-ups through calls and emails, I initially received no clear response. Later, HR informed me that the Background Verification team had flagged an FIR against my name. I clarified that the FIR had already been quashed by the Hon’ble Delhi High Court and also informed them that I had previously worked with four multinational companies without any employment-related issues. I shared all these details via email on 22 May 2026 and followed up again on 25 May 2026, but received no response. On 26 May 2026, the Hiring Manager asked me to wait another 1–2 days. As of now, I have not received any official update regarding my joining status, onboarding process, or laptop dispatch, leaving me unemployed and uncertain about my employment status.

Since the FIR against you has already been quashed by the Delhi High Court, you should formally send the company a copy of the quashing order along with a written request seeking clarification on your employment status and joining timeline. If the company indefinitely delays onboarding without official communication despite issuing an offer letter, you may consider sending a legal notice seeking clarification, compensation for unfair employment practices, or withdrawal confirmation. Preserve all emails, call records, and offer documents safely. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
