How to Provide Proof of Your Employment or Income

Are you buying a house? Renting a flat? Leasing a car? Establishing credit? Applying for a loan?

You will need proof of your employment or income!

Verifications used to work in this way: The lender made you sign a consent form, which they then mailed to your employer. The employer had to complete the form and mail it back to the lender. This sometimes took days or weeks, and forms could easily get lost or misdirected, leading to impatience, frustration -- even the risk of losing your “perfect house” due to delay.

There’s now a better way. WorkPass®.

  • Select the Employees section from the Home Page (www.workpass.co.uk).
  • Log in to your free account
  • Select "Create Consent Code"
  • The consent code will be automatically generated with a default valid period of 30 days.
