Need Legal advice on dual employment Need Legal advice on dual employment

Hello,
I have one month of service overlap in my pf account. By siting this MNCs are failing most of the people in BGV. I also faced this issue. I am looking for legal consultation to sort this issue. Even a criminal is getting chance to rectify his mistakes but these companies are not giving chance to people who did these actions without awareness

A.Dear Client,
Background verification(BGV) is a process many organizations carry out in order to verify the information provided by the candidate during hiring. Verification of EPFO records through UAN is critical for conducting employee background checks because it allows employers to confirm that their employees are not using false or stolen identities to gain employment. It is commonly observed that many companies safeguard their interest by having a conditional clause in the employment agreement to the effect that the appointment of the candidate may be subject to termination in case of a failed BGV report, which is a good business practice. Once you fail in a background verification of an organization then they will definitely list you in their blacklist, so that you cannot get a job in that particular company and their branches. In case of a negative background verification check an employer can even reject the employment of the candidate. So in the prevailing situation, you should visit the regional office of the PF Commissioner and get the anomalies arising out of dual employment in PF records corrected following the procedure as advised by the EPF Authority otherwise you may face the consequences as explained herein above. If required, you may escalate your grievance before PF Appellate Tribunal with the assistance of an Advocate for a resolution in the matter.
