Overview
As part of NewYork-Presbyterian’s new hire onboarding, your employment history is verified. If our background screening vendor Certiphi (background screening vendor) cannot verify your prior employment, you may be asked to submit additional documentation. Acceptable documents include letters of verification from a prior employer, pay stubs, W-2s (Wage and Tax Statement), or 1099s (Miscellaneous Income). Before sending any documents to NYP, please redact confidential or personal information such as date of birth, Social Security number, and salary.
