I’m trying to find out how to do an employment check on myself for the past ten years can anyone help me?
A lot depend of the type of employment and if your earnings were reported social security. You should be able to get a complete employment history, which Includes periods of employment or self-employment and the names and addresses of employers, by filling out form SSA-7050 from the Social Security Administration.
It is available on their website at http://www.ssa.gov/online/ssa-7050.html You’ll need to pay research fee’s for years of records you plan to obtain. I would call SS before submitting the form and inquire as to fee’s , backlog and policy changes. I have conducted employment background investigations for both private and public employment and for the most part barring red flags guesstimates were acceptable. In my experience liability conscious HR will just verify employment. When I look at an application or background questioner I’m more interested what’s not on the form.
Good luck and please let Detective Forum know if this information helped.
