What is Work Report™?
Work Report™ is a new employment and income verification service supplied by Experian, the world's leading information services provider, that will save time and effort for your HR teams.
It’s a quick and secure way for employees to instantly verify the employment and payroll information required when applying for products such as mortgages, loans, and tenancies.
At the relevant stage of an application, and with the employee’s permission, the service automatically sources the minimum required information from employer payroll systems and shares it instantaneously and securely with a service provider.
Work Report™ eliminates the time and effort your HR teams currently spend sourcing, printing, and verifying documents requested by your employees. Employees get the option to ‘self-serve’, choosing to share information directly with an organisation of their choice.

Why use Work Report™?
Every time one of your employees is asked for employment and income verification, your HR team is required to source that information. This is time that could be better spent on business-critical activities.
The current verification process is outdated, slow, lacks automation and increases the risk of data loss. Providing printed or pdf documentation by email or post is not secure.
You can support your employees’ financial and mental wellbeing by removing friction from the application process, giving them better access to important services such as mortgages and loans.
Save time and effort
Work Report™ saves time and effort for everyone. HR teams will spend less time chasing up records, and employees enjoy a faster, more secure application process. With 75% of UK employees expected to make an application requiring verification in the next two years, that time saving will add up.
Accelerate digital transformation
Work Report™ modernises and automates outdated processes in your business, offering employees an enhanced and secure alternative to current methods of employment and income verification.
Improve financial health and wellness
By removing friction and stress from the application process, employees enjoy quicker and easier access to financial services. Work Report™ also lets them control their data more effectively, removing the need to source, save and share copies of documents.
What's next?
Nothing! Work Report™ will shortly be available for all customers and will come up as an option in applications with participating providers. Unless you choose to opt out, you don’t have to do anything.
If you do not want to make the Work Report™ service available to your employees, we ask you to ‘opt-out’ by emailing workreport@zellis.com.
