WE WANT YOU !

pay verification is, and what it isn’t.

representative.
3. To have a clear grasp of what needs to be
narrated regarding what was used, and why.

New job. 8/13 is first paycheck
(Notice, there is no 8/20 week pay visible)
How would you address this case?
WORK NUMBER VERIFICATION
The worker narrated that pay date 8/20 was not
used, since it wasn’t on Work # and customer
didn’t know why.
Wkr used: 8/13, 8/27, 9/3 & 9/10 pay dates.
$1012.09 / 4 x 4.3 =$1087.99
Observations:
1st The 8/13 stub might not be representative since it
was his first (and, likely, included training hours)
2nd Three weeks is not a month’s verification of
income.
3rd 8/27 pay should have been excluded from
calculation, as it is significantly less.
Conclusion: Not enough information to develop a
good anticipation of income.

Not representative!
Reg., OT, and gross
income much less
Need another
week’s worth
of verification
or speak with
employer
One pay stub is ½ the
hours/pay of the other.
Worker added the two for
a monthly total, ignoring
the differences.
Address the difference in
hrs/pay
Request more verification
or speak with the employer
Case #4
FIRST STUB FROM NEW JOB
First check from new employment is
often not representative of on-going pay
Case #5
Customer anticipated 17 hrs/wk, so this
stub would be representative (…unless
worker gets contradictory information )
Worker used 8/26, 9/02,
9/09, and 9/16 dates
Paid weekly
Correct # of pay stubs used
Is the 8 hrs used from 9/16
representative?
Pay history says “no”
Needs a more representative
pay period
Case #6
New job
Worker only used 1st pay check received
Customer said it was “representative”
Is this a “month’s worth” of
verification?
Is customer’s statement sufficient
information?
Worker needs to verify with
employer it is representative of
future eml.
If the employer will not provide any
further information, we may use what
we have and review at 6 months
