Abstract: Embodiments of the invention may be used to mitigate potential liability for non-compliance with legal requirements related to employment authorization and verification. In one embodiment, a method is used to digitize employment verification forms, to create a database of the information reflected in the paper employment verification forms, and to identify errors in the employment verification forms, while concurrently limiting both the potential for unwanted disclosure of employee personal data and the potential for increased employer liability due to “knowledge” of problematic or incorrect employment verification form data.
