Form-11 under EPF Act is employee's self declaration where employer has nothing to do. The employee was member of EPFO for 2 months and hopefully UAN number has been allotted. If the employee settled his/her PF with EPFO , then there is no problem. But if it is still exist and employee will be shown as excluded employee, that will be bad in law. If the employee will be covered under EPF , then also there will be no issue.
However, under any circumstances the employer is not directly responsible for the fault of employee. After the knowledge of employer that the employee was earlier member of EPFO, it will be better to correct the Form-11 and covered the employee under EPF Act.
