Verification of Employment Process

Verification of Employment Process

Employment verifications for Davidson Employees will be performed by ADP Employment Verification powered by The Work Number® from Equifax.  The Work Number® responds to third party requests for Davidson employees’ employment and income information, when employees apply for loans, credit and public aid. Also, when an employee has obtained credit or another benefit, the lender or their agent may later need the employee’s employment and income information for account review in order to confirm the employee is qualified to continue receiving the benefit or to enforce obligations the employee has undertaken.

The service is used by lenders, property managers, creditors, social service agencies and other requestors, collectively called “Verifiers”, which need to confirm an individual's employment status and often, their income as well. These verifiers can go directly to The Work Number®.

This service fulfills these requests securely using your payroll information for the highest degree of data accuracy; the information is provided through an integration between ADP and Equifax.

We utilize The Work Number® from Equifax to help complete requests for verification of employment and income for our employees. Please visit www.theworknumber.com or email info@theworknumber.com or call 800-367-5690
