What is the difference between a salary key and a verifier code?

A salary key and a verifier code are both important tools used for employment verification purposes on The Work Number platform. However, they serve different functions. A salary key is a unique six-digit code generated by an employee to grant temporary access to their income information on The Work Number database. It functions as a one-time password that allows authorized third parties, like lenders or landlords, to view and verify the employee's salary details. On the other hand, a verifier code is a four-digit personalized code provided by The Work Number to authorized verifiers. This code enables verifiers, such as potential employers or government agencies, to access and validate an individual's employment history and other employment-related information without viewing salary details. In summary, a salary key grants temporary access to an employee's salary information, while a verifier code facilitates employment verification without disclosing salary details.
