How is it Verified?
-
Employee Self-Disclosure: The employee may be asked directly if they’re working for another company or freelancing.
-
Social Media Check: Searching their social media accounts to see if they’ve mentioned any side jobs.
-
Employment History: Looking at their job history to spot any gaps or other companies they may have worked for.
-
Financial Records: Checking things like tax filings (Form 16, Form 26AS, ITR) to see if they have extra sources of income.
-
Compliance Check: Looking up their EPFO (Employee Provident Fund) records to check if they’re registered with more than one employer.
-
