Dear ClientThere is no overarching law that prohibits a person from doing multiple jobs. It is not illegal however both companies should not have the clause cannot take up work full time in some other company So before joining another Company you are required to tender your resignation from the earlier company that eventually caused the overlapping of service. Further Background verificationBGV check 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 a critical process for conducting employee background checks because it allows employers to confirm that their employees are not using false or stolen identities to gain employment. In case of a negative background verification check an employer can even reject or terminate the employment of the candidate. In the given situation to resolve the issue of overlapping in the P F records of both employers you need to approach the office of Regional P F Commissioner who is the competent authority to resolve any anomaly arising out of date of appointment and date of discharge in EPF records. A joint declaration form is used to correct Provident Fund PF member details. It is a combined form that the employee and employer jointly sign and submit to the regional PF commissioner to update the wrong information entered in the employees PF accounts. An individual can file a complaint using the EPF i-Grievance Management System www. httpsepfigms.gov.in. Once you succeed in wiping out the stigma of dual employment from your EPF records with the cooperation of your previous and present employer your scope of employment with other companies will be restored with clean employment records.
