Tensed about BGV after Walmart offer, what should I do?
I have 7+ years of work experience and listed all my previous companies on my resume, except for one where I worked for just 2.5 months. I do have the experience/relieving letter for that company, but I left it out since the stint was very short.
After accepting a new offer, I received an AuthBridge BGV link. It only allowed me to enter details of 5 companies (including my current one), so I listed the same 5 companies from my resume. However, while submitting, a pop-up appeared asking about a 2.5-month gap in my work history. I explained that I had briefly joined an early-stage startup, but due to COVID-related business changes, the role ended quickly. Since my contribution was minimal, I hadn’t included it on my resume, but I mentioned that I do have the relieving letter and can provide it if required.
Now I’m worried if this would impact my background check or cause issues after joining? Could they even reject or terminate me because of this? What’s the best way to handle this situation?

Do you have pf account for that company? If yes then it’s better to inform your hiring person before joining. They can initiate the bgv again with fresh details. Generally it’s not a good idea to hide your work experience even if it’s one day. These bgv companies will somehow find it out and mark your BGV status red. Even the hiring person can’t onboard you in that case.
Authbridge bgv process is very frustrating and the verify last 10 years addresses too. All the best!!
I have all the docs, but I am afraid that if I tell him right now, he might revoke my offer.
