Whether it’s to purchase or rent a home or to apply for an auto loan, you may find yourself needing to verify your employment and salary for a creditor. We wanted to let you know that Lehigh’s process for providing that information has changed a bit.
Lehigh now uses The Work Number® to provide automated employment and income verifications for our employees.
The Work Number from Equifax is a fast and secure way to provide proof of your employment or income— a necessary step in many of today’s life events including obtaining credit, financing a home or automobile, obtaining a housing lease or securing government benefits or services.
The Work Number simplifies the verification process and accelerates qualifying decisions through an online system available to verifiers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Hundreds of thousands of credentialed verifiers rely on The Work Number for rapid access to information critical to their decision process, and thousands of employers nationwide have entrusted The Work Number to provide this important service on behalf of their employees.
How The Work Number Works
If a creditor or landlord requests employment verification, follow this two-step process:
- Provide the creditor
- Lehigh's Employer Code: 19163
- Your social security number
- Direct the verifier to www.theworknumber.com
Access Your Own Employment Data
If you’re wondering what your own employment data looks like, our relationship with The Work Number can provide answers for you. Employees who work for organizations that contribute information to The Work Number can access one (1) free Employment Data Report (EDR) each year through www.theworknumber.com. The EDR provides complete historical employment and income information, as well as a listing of verifier requests for the past two years.
You’ll be receiving correspondence from Lehigh in the near future with more information about how to access your Employment Data Report.
