• HR Operations Center—all other current and former employees (full-time staff, part-time staff, student employees, and individuals hired on a contract with Continuing Education).  

For employment verification requests received by telephone and accompanied by the social security number and/or BYU ID number of the person being verified, authorized offices may provide the following:

• Job title
• Employee classification—faculty, staff, student, etc.
• Status of employment—full-time, part-time, active, retired, etc.
• Hire date

Requests for salary data (current salary, salary history, etc.) must be received in writing and accompanied by a signed authorization from the individual for whom the verification is requested.
