Employee Codes Mismatch: Can PF Sheets and Biometric Machines Have Different Codes?

Can employee codes be different in the PF sheet and in the biometric machine?

Please reply.

Connection Between Employee Codes and Biometric Systems

How are the two connected? You can have two sets of employee codes, but isn't it increasing your burden? Maintaining data in multiple sheets opens up the possibility of mistakes occurring. You could inadvertently assign the biometric number to the wrong person in the PF, leading to the PF being transferred to another account. This creates confusion and more work for yourself.

It is advisable that the person's employee code, biometric code, and PF number all be the same to avoid confusion and mistakes while preparing reports and payments.

The question is somehow confusing, whether your question is for PF sheet or Payment sheet in which the allotted PF number is mentioned. The employee code issued for the biometric machine is different from the legal code issued under the PF rules. The employee code is for your internal use. Hence, both may differ. However, you may differentiate the employee code by the number of digits.
