Employee Resignation and EPF Settlement Issue
One employee joined our organization on the 2nd of November and left on the 10th of November after submitting his resignation. Since then, he hasn't shown any interest in completing the full and final settlement (F&F). Despite our efforts to pursue this matter, we have been unsuccessful. We are required to pay him for the 9 days worked. Despite waiting for a considerable period, we have not received any response from him.
EPF Deduction and UAN Linking Issue
Now, in order to close his books, we need to deduct the EPF amount even if he is not interested in claiming his funds. When we attempted to link our establishment with his UAN, we encountered an unexpected issue. We were unable to link our establishment code with his UAN to credit the EPF amount due, as an error message occurred. Upon further investigation, we discovered that he had joined another organization prior to joining us on the 4th of October. This was information he did not disclose to us during his onboarding. It appears that he worked with us for only 7 days before returning to his previous workplace. Interestingly, his UAN reflects the date of joining as the 4th of October, indicating he did not officially rejoin the initial organization. It seems that he maintained continuous employment with them.
Challenges in Processing EPF Dues
The challenge we face now is how to add him and process his EPF dues for the month of November. Additionally, we are puzzled as to why we are unable to link his UAN when we indicated his date of joining at our organization as the 2nd of November. Could this be due to him having received wages from 2 to 4 other employers post-November, with corresponding ECR filings?
We seek clarification on these matters and appreciate any assistance in resolving this issue.

I think you can add. However, get some advice from the experts. Basically, it was a kind of dual employment for that concerned person for those 7 days. However, in any case, you should be able to link your code with his UAN; there shouldn't be any problem.
By doing this, his present employer will also come to know that such an event had occurred because next month while uploading ECR, they will come to know about this, and they can take actions as they deem fit against the said employee.
