For a Report of Verification Requests

The Work Number keeps a record of all verifiers that have attempted to access your data or that have received your information. Request an Employment Data Report if you wish to view this information, as well as the employment and income information provided from employers.

Visit The Work Number webpage (opens in new window) or call 1-800-367-2884 for instructions on how to request an Employment Data Report.

Self-Service Verification through UCPath online

Employees can also log into UCPath online (opens in new window) to print out an employment verification summary.

Review the Generate Employment Verification Summary (opens in new window) software simulation to see, try, or print the steps needed to generate your employment summary including dates of employment and earnings. Your summary will be published on UC letterhead, which will include your current employment information and payroll earnings.

Note that the UCPath employment summary report will only show earnings paid through UCPath. If you previously worked at a UC location with fewer than two years of earnings processed through UCPath, your summary may be incomplete. If this is the case, submit a case through UCPath online to request an updated summary. To do so:

• Navigate to the Ask UCPath button at the upper right corner of the dashboard
• Select Submit An Inquiry > Human Resources > Human Resources Inquiry
• Enter subject, “Employment Verification Inquiry”
• In the description field, state your needs
• Verify your contact information and submit

Opt Out of Verification of Employment Daily File

Faculty, academic personnel, staff, and student employees are automatically included in the daily update sent to UC's external partner that performs employment verification activities.

Review the Opt Out - Verification of Employment Data File (opens in new window) software simulation to see, try, or print the steps needed to change your opt in preferences in UCPath online (MyAccess login required).

Those who opted out must refer all verifiers (banks, employers or leasing agents) to UCPath to complete employment and income verifications manually. Only employment and income verifications for those who opted out will be completed. All other employment and income verifications must contact The Work Number (opens in new window).
