The fast, secure way to share employment data

Employment Verification

Included in UK Sage Payroll products, Employment Verification is a new benefit for your employees simplifying the manual process of gathering income and employment information when making applications such as mortgages, loans etc.

What is Employment Verification ?

Now available in Sage Payroll products, Employment Verification is enabled through a number of trusted partners.

When an employee makes an application requiring employment or income verification like a loan or mortgage, they can choose to share online access to their payroll data via our trusted partners to help complete the verification check with the service provider.

This gives employees more control over their data. And the online process can save you time too by eliminating manual work like producing printed payslips and documents for employment verification.

How does it work ?

  1. The employment/income application begins
    Whether it’s a loan, mortgage, or another application, your employee starts the online process with their service provider as usual.
  2. Employee instruction is given
    Where the feature is available your employee can choose to verify the data through our trusted partners.
  3. Employment Verification partner completes checks
    The trusted partner checks they have the required information to progress the employment and/or income verification.
  4. Records are identified and shared
    Our partner checks if the employee works for a Sage customer, the employee is identified, and the verified data is shared securely with the service provider.
