Employment and Income Verifications

The University of Missouri has contracted with an outside vendor, The Work Number™, to provide a new, secure, convenient and accurate employment and income verification service for our employees. The Work Number™ is the largest provider of automated employment and income verifications in the United States.

The Work Number™ verifies your information when you:

apply for a mortgage, lease or personal credit account
allow a potential employer to conduct a pre-employment screening
contract with a potential landlord

The Work Number™ is accessible by phone or Internet to provide on-demand employment and income verifications for current and former University of Missouri employees. The Work Number™ verifies only employment and income information; it does NOT provide other personal information.

You control who can verify your employment and income history by providing your Social Security Number and a salary key. To enable employment history verification, provide your SSN to the verifier. If the verifier needs to confirm your income information, you can obtain a salary key by logging into The Work Number™ Web site. The salary key will grant the verifier a single request to view your income information. The salary key is unique for each request, thus making it very secure.

The University of Missouri Employer Code is 13577.

Current employees may access The Work Number™ through myHR Self Service. Verify Income & Employment is available under the heading Personal Information. Former employees with termination dates AFTER June 19th, 2005 should go directly to The Work Number™ Web site. Former employees with termination dates BEFORE June 19th, 2005 should contact Human Resources at 516-5805.
