Employment Verification
Faculty and staff may obtain employment verification by directly referring creditors to The Work Number site https://employees.theworknumber.com/ or by generating employment verification letters in a self-service portal. The Work Number (formerly known as i2Verify, a service under Equifax), is an income and employment verification provider, offering on-demand instant access to employment and wage data. Requests for employment verification should not be sent to Human Resources.
How does it work?
If an organization requests to verify your wage or employment history, simply direct them to The Work Number site where they will register as the requestor, and validate that they have your consent, as well as a permissible purpose to view your data. (Butler Employer Code is 4681132)
