Employment Verifications

The City of Chesapeake now uses The Work Number® to provide automated employment and income verifications for its employees. The Work Number from Equifax is a fast and secure way to provide proof of 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. The City of Chesapeake's employer ID is 20021. 

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. 

Additionally, employees who work for organizations that contribute information to The Work Number can access one 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.
