ST. LOUIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 14, 1998
Employers Unity, Inc. a leading provider of cost-effective
systems for managing unemployment tax costs, offers clients
outsourced automated employment and salary verification services
TALX Corp. (NASDAQ:TALX - news) a provider of self-service software and services, announced today a new partnership with Employers Unity, Inc., a leading provider of cost-effective systems for managing unemployment tax cost.
As a sales partner, Employers Unity can now offer its clients The Work Number(R), the automated employment and salary verification service TALX began marketing to large employers in 1995.
''We are very excited about our new partnership with Employers Unity,'' said Bill Canfield, president and CEO of TALX. ''This alliance provides Employers Unity with a new service offering that is complementary to its current line of business, and it enables TALX to increase the visibility and distribution of The Work Number.''
''We are committed to helping our clients control all costs related to unemployment tax and other human resources activities,'' said Steve Engelhardt, vice president of sales and marketing for Employers Unity. ''We believe salary and employment verification is a costly and burdensome task for our clients; therefore, offering The Work Number will give our clients a new way to cut costs.
About The Work Number
Typically before a bank grants a loan, it contacts the loan applicant's employer to verify the applicant's employment and salary. Companies that employ thousands of people are deluged with such requests for information and incur administrative costs to process them. The Work Number service offers employers an automated solution by allowing companies to feed their payroll records into a national database. With appropriate security clearances, banks and other organizations can access the database automatically to verify the information.
The nation's largest corporate employer, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. [NYSE:WMT - news], and numerous others including Hewlett-Packard, JC Penney, Microsoft, Motorola, PeopleSoft, Procter & Gamble, Quaker Oats, Sears Roebuck & Co., Sun Microsystems, Tenet Healthcare Corp. [NYSE:THC - news], and United States Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) outsource employment and salary verification to TALX. The payroll records of these employers are combined on one national database of nearly 20 million records -- including data about current and former employees.
