In an effort to better support employees during important life events, Loma Linda University Health has partnered with The Work Number company to provide instant and secure employment and income verification.
In scenarios such as purchasing a car, applying for a job, refinancing a mortgage or seeking public assistance, a verifier may need employment or income information to assess an applicant’s eligibility.
For Loma Linda University Health employees, that traditionally would have required the verifier to call the talent management services department to request proof of employment or income, but this process could take several days.
The Work Number is an automated service that allows Loma Linda associates — both current and former employees — to have their employment and income verified instantly online. This fast, secure service is simple to use and provided at no cost to employees.
The Work Number is available to verifiers 24 hours a day, seven days a week, which facilitates on-the-spot financing decisions even on weekends or during evening hours. It also eliminates the need in many scenarios for Loma Linda University Health employees to provide paystubs or other documentation. Verifiers get the information they need directly from the database, resulting in a faster decision.
How it works
- Loma Linda University Health’s payroll department securely transmits employment and income data to The Work Number on a regular cycle, so the information remains current.
- When applying for credit or other services where proof of employment or income is required, employees will provide consent to the credit grantor to verify that information when signing the application.
- The verifier — who has been carefully screened and credentialed before gaining access to the system — uses Loma Linda University Health’s employer code (17301) and the employee’s Social Security Number to look up his or her records in The Work Number database.
- The verifier must provide a valid reason or permissible purpose for requesting the information, as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
- With the above conditions met, the verifier can validate employment or income in seconds, accelerating the decision process and helping employees obtain the credit they deserve.
