Employment Verification

Employment Verifications will be processed in accordance with CUNY’s policies and procedures, and all applicable state, local, and federal laws. Employment Verification is the most commonly requested type of verification that verifies the employee’s basic job information: employer name and address, location, job title, employment status, most recent hire date, and length of time with the employer.

Be advised that in order to protect employees’ personnel records from unauthorized access, employment information will not be released without the employee’s consent, except to CUNY and other non-investigatory governmental agencies, the Human Resources Administration, the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, or upon subpoena.
