Dear HRs,
In my organization, there was an employee who was problematic always with the HR and management. He resigned last year then he himself applied for PF claim by affixing the employer sign by his own with seal...it was a forgery.The forms were rejected and sent back to company by pf office due to the mismatch of employer signature ( he was not able to put the authorized signatory sign exactly but drawn in some extend). Once we got the forms only we came to know that he has did the same.
(He did not know the rejection forms were sent to the company) Second time he came to the organization to get employer signature in a new claim form. We caught him and told him that until and unless he give an explanation with apology letter for the misbehavior which he did in the first claim form, we will not process his pf any more from our side. That time also he criticized the management and left without doing anything.
Now he applied for pf again with the sign of gazetted officer and we have received his claim form from pf stating to affix employer sign as per the EPF scheme and send back to the RPF office within 7 days. We checked with section officers in RPF office. They told that we cannot refuse and we need to send it soon as per the act...
Could you pls advice in this case what are effects will happen if employer does not sign and send them back.
The forgery papers are still with us! If he escapes from the pf claim in any case, what are the legal action can be imitated from the company by using the forgery papers.
Thank you!
