Do you need to verify your employment to apply for a loan, an apartment or job? Here’s how.
Faculty, Staff and Student Employees
Your employment verifier (such as your bank, leasing agent or employer) can access your employment information through The Work Number — a third-party provider for employment and income verification.
To use this service, inform your verifier that UC uses The Work Number and provide them with the UC Employer Code (15975).
Self-verification
To confirm your salary for your records, you can easily download a personal employment summary report through your UCPath account. To do so:
- Log in to UCPath
- Using the menu at the left, navigate to Employee Actions > Income and Taxes > Verification of Employment.
- Scroll to the bottom of the page and select Generate Summary Report
Your summary will be published on UC letterhead, which will include your current employment information and payroll earnings.
Note: 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
Employees who opted out
UCPath does not send data to The Work Number for employees who opted-out from sending their information. Employees who opted out must refer all verifiers (banks, employers or leasing agents) to UCPath to complete employment and income verifications manually.
How do verifiers submit employment verification requests to UCPath?
Only employment and income verifications for employees who opted-out will be completed. All other employment and income verifications must contact The Work Number.
Verifiers may contact UCPath via:
- Email: ucpath@universityofcalifornia.edu
- Phone: 1-855-982-7284 (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.)
- Fax: 1-855-982-2329
