Employment Report Errors

Since employment background checks have become a major factor in the hiring process, companies like Equifax Workforce Solutions (“EWS”), a subsidiary of the credit bureau Equifax, have been established for the sole purpose of verifying employment history and income information of applicants.

EWS is a separate business from the credit bureau, and claims accuracy of its data as each consumer’s information is maintained by the employer who provides it to EWS. It is not distributed to any other background-checking company. The service was created to assist employers requesting salary and employment history information of job applicants. EWS states it is in compliance with the FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) and that it provides your personal information only to those requesting it with a legitimate purpose and the consumer’s written consent.
