• EMPLOYMENT &

    INCOME VERIFICATION

    Employment and Income verifications are most often required when an employee applies for such financial products as loans and mortgages, seeks an apartment lease, establishes credit or in any other circumstance in which proof of employment or income is required. 

     

    The Buffalo City School District and Equifax have joined in a partnership designed to provide convenience to both employees and verifiers seeking to gather information.

     

    Types of Verification

     

    Telephone Verification 

    Basic employment information can be verified by telephone.

    A third-party verifying organization can call the Work Number to verify information about an employee. Only the following information is verified:

    • Employee name
    • Dates of employment
    • Current or last position held
    • Salary

    Please use BPS Employer code: 19205
