Overlapping issue

Dear Client,
There 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 and obtain a relieving letter that eventually caused the dual employment or overlapping of service. Further, Background verification(BGV) 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 dual employment/overlapping in the P F records of both employers, you need to approach the office of the Regional P F Commissioner who is the competent authority to resolve any anomaly/discrepancy arising out of date of appointment and date of exit of an employee in EPF records. A joint declaration form(JDF) 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 by default. For lack of cooperation from the employers who are duty-bound to correct the records of member employees in EPF records, an individual can file a complaint using the EPF i-Grievance Management System (www. https://epfigms.gov.in/). or filing a complaint offline in the office of the Regional PF Commissioner concerned. If the complaint is not resolved even on receipt of JDF, you can approach the Employees’ Provident Funds Appellate Tribunal (EPFAT) which was constituted under the provisions of the Section 7 D of the EPF and M P Act 1952, Now, as per the Finance Act 2017, the Employees' Provident Fund Appellate Tribunal has been merged with Central Government Industrial Tribunal w.e.f. 26.05.2017. So, if no relief yields from the office of the PF Commissioner, you may approach the Central Government Industrial Tribunal for appropriate relief. 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

Dear client,
If you are facing Background Verification (BGV) issues due to an incorrect exit date in your PF records from Company A, you should initially reach out to Company A’s HR department to request a correction. Ensure you provide all relevant documents, such as your resignation letter and proof of final settlement. If these methods do not address the issue, you may need to seek legal assistance from a labor lawyer to compel Company A to update the records. Make sure to document all communications and follow up consistently. Hope our prompt support in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
