Do not delay the start date of your new job. You have given your notice and have a new job lined up. There is no action needed. Any place worth a damn would not hold it against you won’t delay your departure.
Your current and soon to be ex-co-workers comings and goings are not your problem.
Now as far as being rehired by your current place. That will be based on how good of an employee you were and the scarcity of your skill sets.
My concern is that if I am marked as not eligible for rehire that would show up in background checks by other jobs in the future.
No background check will go that deep.
You have given your notice. You have given the traditional two-week notice. You move on.
I get your point, but I saw the background check report for my current employer and they asked all my previous employers from the last seven years whether I was available for rehire.
Asking and caring can be very different.
Most employers will only ever answer the question of whether or not you were ever employed there. Beyond that, they risk being sued by former employees.
What the fuck do you do?
I don't think I've ever heard of such a thing.
As an employer I wouldn't even confirm someone worked for me unless they had personally asked me for a reference, and even that only applies to recent employees. I wouldn't act as a reference for someone 5 years later.
It's a law firm so I guess it's normal for the industry.
So what does your employment contract say?
It doesn't state any specifics related to leaving other than that being an at will agreement.
Keep a copy of that contract and if they cause any issues for you over giving notice, sue the ever-lovin fuck out of them.
Yeah most roles I have done have required that kind of checkup but usually the only parts companies have to say is start date, end date and eligible for rehire, and as far as I’ve seen you basically have to do some criminal shit to get classed as entirely ineligible for rehire
Wow, what do you do, bodyguard?
You can do everything correctly and still have someone say they wouldn’t rehire you for X. I think it’s better to look forward and not back.
"We wouldn't re-hire him because he didn't fuck up his next job right out of the gate to make things a little bit easier on us" isn't the massive own you think it is.
Unless you stab your boss and set fire to the building on your way out the door, you can have zero worries about your end of employment details showing up on a background check.
I wouldn’t be concerned about that. Businesses are strongly discouraged from badmouthing former employees unless you did something explicitly terrible or criminal. Worst case scenario is they would give no comment if given as a reference.
Nope.
