Employment verification service
UGA has recently contracted with The Work Number® to provide proof of UGA employment or income information 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

A secure, automated service, The Work Number® allows a bank, car dealer or other verifier, to call a phone number or visit a Web site to verify employment or income.

Human Resources will further communicate with the campus community in the coming weeks, as the proposed November implementation approaches. In addition, The Work Number staff will contact area lending institutions, credit companies, car dealers and other companies to provide instructions on accessing proof of employment or income regarding UGA faculty and staff.

Bulletin Board is limited to announcements from campus-based organizations whose membership includes UGA faculty and/or staff.Bulletin Board is limited to announcements from campus-based organizations whose membership includes UGA faculty and/or staff.
