Empeon has recently partnered with Equifax to provide clients and their employees with 24/7 access to The Work Number, a database that allows for seamless and automated employment and income verification using payroll data.
Any time an employee initiates a transaction requiring employment and/or income verification, such as applying for a mortgage, or buying a car, credentialed verifiers typically begin by referencing The Work Number to check if the employee is registered within the database. If they are, verification can be completed within minutes using the payroll information linked to the employee.
The Equifax integration through Empeon will assist in making sure your organization is registered with The Work Number so that needed payroll information is provided instantly and securely to the verifying parties.
If an employee is not registered within The Work Number, the verification process may take longer and require manual steps, such as submitting forms and providing past paystubs from both the employee and employer. This can lead to delays when completing transactions that require verification.
This benefit is available at no cost to you or your employees. The Work Number is a secure, reputable database where all verifiers are credentialed, and all transactions are tracked and audited. It also holds globally recognized certifications in data management and security.
