Tool will enable employers to securely verify COVID-19 status of employees
Truework, the verified identity platform that gives consumers control over their personal and professional information, is building the first verification tool for employers to determine which employees can safely return to work, and when, by verifying employees’ COVID-19 health status.

“In order to get America back to work, employers across the country are going to need to verify the COVID-19 health status of each employee, and that status will need to be reported to employers in a secure way,” explained CEO Ryan Sandler. “This is an incredibly complex challenge in that employers need to securely connect a number of different data sources — such as laboratory test results and contact tracing apps — to the various human resources information systems (HRIS) that different employers use, all while getting the explicit consent from the employee for this sensitive data. This is a problem that Truework’s platform was designed to solve.”

Truework’s identity verification platform secures sensitive identity information by providing details only when consumers give their explicit consent. To date, the company’s platform automates employment verification, the time-consuming process in which HR departments respond to data requests from lenders, landlords and background check companies. With Truework, employees whose details are being vetted receive a text or email to approve the request for their data before it is released. Truework’s platform maintains the highest security certifications, including ISO 27001 and SOC 2, and locks sensitive consumer information behind consent.
“In order for HR teams to maintain an active and healthy workforce, we need to adopt solutions to track the status of our employees,” said Madison Guidry, Human Resources Generalist, Bite Squad. “Our goal is to get all of our employees back to work in a safe, controlled manner. We want to ensure that our employees are safe as well as our customers who we serve. A flexible solution that plugs into our existing tools, and handles this sensitive data with consent, would be a game changer for us.”
