Yes, it is okay to ask for a later start date after signing the offer letter, especially if there is a valid reason such as a family emergency. HR professionals understand that unexpected events can arise and will usually work with you to set a new start date that accommodates your needs while also meeting the company's business needs. It's important to communicate your situation with HR as soon as possible and provide an estimated timeline for your availability. This way, they can plan accordingly and make any necessary adjustments. It's always best to be transparent and honest with your employer to maintain a positive relationship right from the start.
