Hi,
I am currently in US working for company A and getting rolled off from the project towards the mid of next month. Meanwhile i have got an offer from Company B and scheduled to join them from 1st of the following month.
My question: Can i resigning from my existing job (with A) and join the company B after a gap of two weeks? Will it be legal or should i return to India and then come back?
Appreciate your help…
Regards
You need to be on the payroll of atleast A or B. It is not advisable to have a gap of 2 weeks, can you ask to prepone your joining with B or postpone your resignation from A? Can you take vaccation for 2 weeks while still being employed with A?
2 week gap is too much. To avoid any issue in future; make it less than a week.
i.e. you can have your last day on Monday and you can join another job next monday.
So you can mention that joining happening only on Mondays. 
It is ok to take some break in b/w jobs. The whole point is that it should not look like out-of-status period. One week should be fine but 2 weeks gets into the gray area.
Check w/ B’s attorney on the comfortable duration.
