UCSB Human Resources does not provide employment verification for academic and staff employees or student employees. Employment verification for academic and staff employees is provided by The Work Number® or UCPath. For Income Verification information, please see information on the Business & Financial Services website.
What Is The Work Number®
UCSB uses The Work Number® to provide automated employment and income verification for UC employees.
The Work Number is a secure, automated service providing employees with the ability to quickly deliver proof of employment or income to authorized verifiers. The Work Number is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.*
Use of The Work Number has been identified as a University of California Working Smarter Initiative and is being implemented system-wide with the approval of a number of staff and academic governance committees. The Work Number provides verification services to over 50 million employees and is widely known to mortgage lenders, banks, apartment complexes, and others who may need proof of your employment or income.
*While the automated The Work Number® service is available 24/7, customer support representatives are only available from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (Central Standard Time) Monday through Friday.
