Verification of Employment
We do not provide employment verifications over the phone.
Former Employees
For employment verification of a former Civil Service employee (including Extra Help), please send a release form signed by the former employee to Staff Human Resources, 52 E. Gregory Drive, Champaign, IL 61820 or fax to 217-244-7304.
Current Employees
All current University employees must use the University of Illinois Online Employment Verification System. By doing so, vendors such as banks, mortgage lenders, and government approved housing can access your employment information immediately and process your loan application or housing request much faster.

Provide the vendor with the EVS web address: https://hrnet.uihr.uillinois.edu/evs, and VAN, so they can access your information immediately.
