Employment verification is a service that Genesis Combined School provides upon request by employees and third parties with a legitimate interest in an employee’s employment record. This information is often requested so that the employee (or third-party) may:
• Obtain financial credit or qualify for a lease
• Prove eligibility for social benefits
• Demonstrate teaching or work experience to another school employer
• Verify service history and past pension contributions for retirement systems
Employment verifications normally include information such as – but not limited to – job title, date of hire, it does not include information concerning performance information, annual review/evaluations, or personal attributes such as an employee’s character (UNLESS REQUESTED BY PROSPECT EMPLOYER). GCS does not confirm future salaries for new hires or for any employee, nor do we guarantee prospects of continued employment.
Who can request information?
Employment verification can be requested by both current and former genesis Combined School employees as well as third parties e.g. prospective employers with a legitimate interest in an employee’s employment record. It is the intention of the school to respond to requests and to provide records in a timely fashion. However, depending on the age of the record and the complexity of the request, the school may charge *for the actual cost in responding to any public records requests for former employees.
Providing records to the employees and third parties with a legitimate interest in an employee’s employment record is a responsibility of the school, and in most cases, the school has been able to meet this responsibility without charging requestors for the time involved in responding to the request. However, if a specific request asks for information outside of what is usually and customarily provided or if it may take more than thirty (30) minutes for staff to compile the requested information, the school reserves the right to charge *for the actual cost involved to respond to the request.
