What the Dual Employment Check API does

Remote work made dual employment common and hard to spot. This API looks at the contribution timeline behind a UAN and identifies periods where two or more establishments were contributing simultaneously, the clearest available evidence of concurrent employment.

Run it at hire and on a periodic basis for existing staff; Profiden workflows can schedule the sweep and raise cases only when an overlap appears.

Consent is part of the contract

Employment records are personal data; the individual's consent is captured before the lookup and stored with the request.

Benefits of the Dual Employment Check API

Detect concurrent employment from overlapping provident fund contributions.

Objective evidence

Contribution overlaps, not hearsay.

Instant

No waiting on employer replies.

Continuous

Periodic sweeps for the whole workforce.

Policy-ready

Output maps directly to your moonlighting policy.

Dual Employment Check API: frequently asked questions

What teams ask before adding the Dual Employment Check API to their integration.

No. It detects concurrent formal employment through provident fund contributions. Informal work leaves no such record.

Contributions appear once employers file them, typically within a month of the salary period.
