Employment verification at the company I work for is done through a contracted company (which does employment verification for 2/3 of the Fortune 500 companies)either via their web site or phone number.  I'm assuming this would be a problem because they charge a nominal fee (I think its about 10 bucks) and the site is not set up in a way that the employee being verified can pay for his own verification.  Although I would obviously gladly reimburse this expense to the prospective provider, is this more trouble than she would be willing to go through?  I know that verification would be insisted upon, as I have never been with a provider and thus have no references.  Help!
