The Work Number
Columbus City Schools contracts with The Work Number to provide employment verification services. If an employee calls to request an employment verification, our first response should be to ask for more information as to the type of verification they are requesting, and then, more often then not, refer them to The Work Number. In the content below we will cover the type of information The Work Number will verify, as well as what to do if it is a verification Human Resources needs to complete rather than referring the caller.
