Kansas State University uses The Work Number® to provide automated employment and income verifications for our employees.  The Work Number is an automated service that provides employees with the ability to quickly provide proof of their employment or income. Employees benefit from having control of the process, since they authorize access to their information. The Work Number provides verification services to over 80 million employees. It is widely known to mortgage lenders, banks, apartment complexes and others who may need proof of an employee’s employment or income, and it is easy for them to use.

The Work Number can be used anytime, anywhere — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
