EVS Help for Employees

Creating a Vendor Access Number (VAN)

The VAN is what a vendor will use to view your employment verification information. When you create a VAN through the EVS, please be aware of the following:

  • The VAN must be a four-digit number.
  • Each VAN may only be used one time.
  • The VAN will expire automatically after 30 days.
  • You may create as many VANs as you need at one time, but each number must be different. Once a VAN expires or is used, the number may be used again.

Authorization Levels

The authorization level that you select in the EVS will determine how much of your employment information a vendor is able to view. The higher authorization level contains more detailed information.

1. Employment Verification Only

The Employment Verification Only option will provide the vendor with limited information:

  • Name
  • Most recent hire date
  • Position and appointment percentage

    The Historical Employment Record option provides the vendor with the same information within a selected date range.

2. Current Employment and Earnings Statement

The Current Employment and Earnings Statement option provides the vendor with detailed information about your employment and income:

  • Name
  • Most recent hire date
  • Position and appointment percentage
  • Current pay rate (annual, monthly, and/or hourly)
  • Summary of gross earnings

The Historical Employment and Earnings Statement option provides the vendor with the same information within a selected date range.
