Employment & Income Verification

Sometimes you need quick proof of employment or income for loans, housing or other life events. This service provides secure, dependable verification so you can share accurate information whenever you need it. It’s designed to be easy to use and available when you’re on the go.

Layoff & Transition Assistance

Although layoff is never easy, it can sometimes be a necessary step for the University. When a layoff happens, offboarding processes are different from other types of employee departures. Eligible employees may also receive transitional pay based on their years of service, helping provide stability during the change.
