Frequently Asked Questions

HOW DO I VERIFY EMPLOYMENT?

The law allows agencies three days to respond to requests for public information. At Ada County we make every attempt to respond more quickly than the law provides. By law we are allowed to release the following employee information:
    Job Title / Position
    Dates of Employment
    Current Salary

We cannot provide or verify personal information such as: home address, home telephone number, or social security number.

To verify employment for a current employee:
    Call Human Resources at 287-6990
    or Fax request for verification to: 287-6999
    or Mail written requests to:
          ADA County Human Resources
          200 West Front Street
          Boise, Idaho 83702

Telephone requests for verification can often be provided at the time of the request. Written requests can often be fulfilled within one day of receipt.

To verify employment for a former employee:
        Utilize the same procedures listed above, but be aware that older records         are more difficult to access and consequently take more time to fulfill.
