Human Resources Operations Consultation Needed -- 2

Job ID: 39296954

Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR

I need a seasoned HR operations expert with over 5 years of experience, based in India, to assist me with EPFO portal issues and employee onboarding procedures.

Key Areas of Assistance:
- EPFO Portal: I need help delinking a member ID that has been wrongly linked. Your advice on the best way to inform my employer about this issue will also be crucial.
- Employee Onboarding: I require assistance primarily with form submission during the onboarding process.

Please note: Only applications from India will be considered.

Context:
Employee X joined company A (as consultant/contractor for a multinational Bank) on January 18th 2023 but because there was no surety on date of assignment with the bank and the salary also got credited late for the first month, employee X on uncertainty started giving other interviews and accepts another offer of a startup company B with joining around Feb 23.

But during the same time employee X receives confirmation with regards to job assignment with the multinational bank hence Employee X forfeits the offer of the startup company B after joining for just 2 days.

Hence in the EPFO portal this company appears for 2 days with no deposits no bank account linked nor any entries to passbook due to which there is no download option for passbook in EPFO portal.

Note: company A had given a declaration form to employee X to voluntary opt-out of EPFO. So this company A does not have any trace on the EPFO portal.


Queries to address:
1. Can a UAN be created even though a user is already having an existing UAN (aadhaar linked).
2. Can a UAN be linked to an employer without users consent?
3. What exactly is the process to link a UAN to an employer?
4. Does the new employer company C or the firm managing the benefits program for company C get to know the employment history with just UAN?
5. If a UAN was linked to an employer unintentionally can it be reverted or undone. Ie company B linked a UAN for just 2 days.
6. When does de-link option against an employer available in the EPFO portal as it's not visible for employee X against this Company B.
7. Given the above situation, what is best way to navigate this with new employer company C/benefits program manager?
8. Can the new employer Directly create a new PF account if I just provide the UAN?
9. Will the new employer company C/benefit program manager be required to contact the old employer company B which has only 2 days of link in any case?
