Employment and income verifications.
Automated. Secure. No-Cost Solution.
Let The Work Number do the work for you.
Verifying employment and income is vital for employees when they are applying for loans, lines of credit, and government benefits. This can become very time consuming for you especially in our 24/7 consumer environment. Employees rely on you for on-demand responses to keep their personal lives moving.
When the volume of requests increases, mistakes can be made, which puts your company at risk. Handling verification requests also distracts from delivering core HR functions.
The Work Number® can do this work for you by automatically responding to verifications securely with speed and efficiency using the payroll data already managed by the PrismHR platform.
