Hello everyone,
Without naming organizations, I will tell my story using abbreviations for the organizations as XYZ, ABC, DEF, and GHI. I was working at XYZ company and joined ABC company in September 2022 while still working at XYZ company. ABC and XYZ companies were unrelated to each other, so I pursued both roles separately at the same time. I left ABC company in December 2022 due to some issues and continued at the legacy XYZ company. Because of this, two PF numbers were generated simultaneously for ABC and XYZ companies in the UAN portal from September 2022 to December 2022.
Now, when I left the XYZ organization in April 2023 and joined a new role in the DEF organization, I was on their payroll but joined the client-side organization GHI. My payroll organization passed my background verification as green (OK), with a declaration that I would not engage in the same practice in the future. However, the client-side organization (GHI) red-flagged my background verification, citing dual employment in the past as evident in the UAN portal, citing non-compliance. Because of this, I lost my job in my payroll organization DEF as well. I know this was a mistake and should have been avoided. What should be the best course of action I can pursue now in this case to ensure I don't face any issues in future employment?

This is a tricky situation, and there are no solutions to prescribe. Undeniably, there is overlap, and it has come to light. As the client-side organization (GHI) has red-flagged you, those doors are closed. Just explore the possibility of alternate employment from the DEF platform as they had green-flagged your BGV. You can only appeal to their consideration. If it is not worthwhile to pursue with DEF, then you may explore the job market and look for any startup sort of organization in its nascent days.
