Gap in Term date and Start date

[nana135]

Hello,

 

I am moving from employer A to employer B. I fixed up the Jan -6 2016 as date of joining for next employer, but when I resigned to employer A. He is insisting to terminate my job on Dec 31 which can cause a gap of 5 (total) and 2 (work) days. (1,2,3 being holidays and 4,5 being week days).

 

Is it okay to have such a gap ? Can it cause problems in future for GC processing ?

 

Thanks!!

Better not to have a gap.

4,5 is shutdown at employer B. they are starting on 6th. I don't have any option to avoid this gap. 

Is this very serious issue ?

after Dec 31 all 5 days are off so shouldn't it be considered like a long weekend off ?
