Employment Dates
List precise start and end dates for each position using MM/DD/YYYY format and note any leaves of absence; inconsistent dates prompt verifier follow-up.
A precise Employment Verification Work History LOX helps decision-makers confirm employment facts, resolve discrepancies, and reduce follow-up inquiries. When executed under ESIGN (15 U.S.C. ch. 96) or a state UETA framework, a signed LOX provides admissible, reproducible evidence of employment history.
Typical users include HR professionals, hiring managers, payroll administrators, and third-party verifiers requesting documented work history.
The LOX is also useful when an authoritative, signed employment record is required to support decisions or to correct official files.

The HR Manager prepares and signs LOX when authorized. They confirm employment dates, job titles, and separation reasons using payroll and personnel files. They ensure signature authority and coordinate notarization or RON sessions if required.
A former employee may request a LOX for new employment or licensing. They should provide identification, written authorization to release records, and specify the recipient to avoid processing delays.
