Hi team, I have received offers from two different companies at different times, and both companies are in different business sectors, not similar. Can I join both Company A and Company B? Is there a risk that both companies will find out about the dual employment? Please advise me before I join Company B, as I have many commitments in life and I do not want this to negatively impact my career.

I won't join if it affects my career. The company is taking projects from X and Y companies and using shared resources for all projects, utilizing our knowledge from X and Y. This practice is happening in companies like TCS and WIPRO, and I have experienced it. It's sad that this is applicable for many companies; the rich will get richer, and the poor will get poorer.

Dual Employment Concerns
Dual employment is not legal in most companies. Even though both are in different business sectors, there are always chances that there could be common aspects or factors that either of the companies may take objection to later. By then, you would already be in a difficult situation.
Comparison with Companies
With regard to your comparison about TCS/Wipro, please note that they are companies, while you are an individual. There's a difference, right? And two wrongs never make a 'right'. I suggest desisting from such dual employment situations. Why create a scope for such situations and then go about trying to find solutions when you land in trouble?
All the best.

Employment Commitment and Dual Employment Risks
As per my views, an employment letter mentions that you should be fully committed to the particular company called A. If you join Company B during that duration, you have already broken your commitment towards Company A. I suggest you should not take this risk, as many companies are very sensitive about their data. If you join another company, you would be violating company policy and could face serious problems, as both companies could file a case against you. I believe this incident could ruin your career after making such a risky decision.

I am in agreement with Mr. Jonathan regarding employment contracts that strictly include dual employment clauses. Moreover, you will be identified immediately after the first payroll because your EPF is linked to your Aadhar/PAN through UAN. Hence, either one would receive an error message when uploading ECR for PF payments, as your contributions show for the same period, which is not allowed.
