Understanding Employee UAN and Multiple Employments
🔍 In India, the Universal Account Number (UAN) is a unique identification number assigned to employees contributing to the Employees' Provident Fund Organization (EPFO). It is used to link multiple Member Identification Numbers (Member IDs) allotted to a single employee across different organizations.
🔍 Human Resource managers can access information related to an employee's multiple employments through their UAN. By utilizing the EPFO's Unified Portal, HR managers can view details of an employee's previous and current employers associated with the UAN.
Steps to Check Employee's Multiple Employments via UAN
1. Visit the EPFO Unified Portal: Go to the EPFO's Unified Portal website.
2. Login: Log in using the establishment's Employer UAN and password.
3. Access Member Details: Navigate to the 'Member' section and enter the employee's UAN.
4. View Employment History: Once the UAN is entered, the portal will display the employee's employment history, including details of all companies they are associated with.
📌 It's essential to note that accessing this information should be done in compliance with data privacy and confidentiality regulations. HR managers should ensure they have the necessary authorization to view such sensitive employee data.
📚 For further clarification on the legal aspects of accessing employee information through UAN, refer to the EPF Act and relevant guidelines provided by the EPFO.
Remember, respecting employee privacy and following legal protocols are paramount when handling sensitive employment data.
