The Work Number® database is a simple, secure, and discreet way to help get your employment and income information to credentialed verifiers to help them make faster decisions involving employment, credit, government benefits, and more.
The Work Number – Automated Income and Employment Verifications Benefits:
- The Work Number ensures that verifications are completed in the most secure and streamlined manner possible — 24 hours a day/7 days a week.
- The Work Number protects sensitive employee information by credentialing all verifiers prior to system use, authenticating the verifier at login, requiring the verifier to have Consumer Consent and a valid Permissible Purpose for requesting the data, and monitoring and auditing verifier activity to ensure compliance with the above safeguards.
- The Work Number helps reduce employer liability risk of unknowingly providing sensitive employee data to a non-authorized requestor.
- The Work Number reduces verification requests into HR, saving internal resources for other responsibilities.
- The Work Number complies with The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), which ensures that employees can see who is requesting their data and provides a mechanism to dispute data that they believe to be inaccurate.
