A.Dear Client,
Typically this kind of issue of double employment is resolved on the basis of nature and contract of employment. From the contents of the query, it appears that you worked under Company A for 17 days in the work-from-home mode. If the contract of employment does not prohibit you from engaging with other companies during the WFH mode of work, then you are free to engage yourself to Company B for gainful employment and in case the contract of employment of Company B prohibits you from engaging yourself with other company, then such an engagement shall be treated as double employment that puts a negative stigma in your Back Ground Verification Report that may put you in trouble making your present employment at stake. So go through the terms and conditions of the contract of employment of both Company A & B and get yourself ready to defend the negative report of the background verification audit carried on by the present employer and try to resolve the matter amicably.

A.Dear client,

If you were unintentionally receiving salaries from both Company A and Company B for the same period of employment, it's crucial to resolve this issue promptly and transparently to avoid any legal or ethical complications. Here are some steps you can take to address the situation:

Gather documentation: Collect all the relevant documents, including offer letters, employment contracts, resignation letters, and any communication with Company A and Company B during the period of overlap.

Review your employment history: Carefully analyze your employment history and the dates of joining and resigning from Company A and Company B. Ensure you have a clear understanding of the timeline and any discrepancies that may have occurred.

Contact Company A and Company B: Reach out to the HR departments or relevant authorities in both companies to explain the situation honestly and transparently. Acknowledge any mistakes or misunderstandings that may have led to the double employment situation.

Offer to repay: If you received salaries from both companies for the same period, be prepared to offer to repay any overpayment made by one of the companies. Discuss potential options for repayment or adjustment of the salary amounts.

Seek legal advice if needed: If the situation becomes complex or difficult to resolve, consider seeking legal advice from an employment lawyer. They can guide you on your rights, obligations, and potential legal consequences.

Cooperate with the audit: Cooperate fully with any internal or external audits conducted by either company to rectify the situation and provide any required information or documentation.

Maintain professionalism: Throughout the process, maintain a professional and responsible approach. Avoid any attempts to hide or manipulate information, as this may worsen the situation.
