It's illegal for an employer to discriminate based on a disability condition. The HR is required to maintain your FMLA health documentation separately from the rest of your employee files. At Amazon, this task is done by DLS (Disability & Leave Services HR), which is completely separate from the HRBP (HR Business Partner) that's responsible for your PIP (Focus/Pivot). However, if you take FMLA, and get STDI, you'll have something like "Short Term Dis" show up on your payroll as the itemized item for the up to 60% of pay you may be getting. (Provided that the STDI is paid out directly by the employer.) This doesn't mean you took a mental health leave; I believe a Parental Leave would show the same. It's been reported that during the Leave, Equifax's TheWorkNumber might also show your status as On Leave. Also, the sample TheWorkNumber report has a field for Workers Comp; it's unclear whether an STDI is more private or not. Does anyone know if STDI or FMLA show up on TheWorkNumber more permanently than a simple "On Leave" checkbox during the leave itself? Are dates of the leave provided? Is your salary itemized? Is STDI explicitly shown? LTDI? #burnout #depression #mentalhealth #anxiety #amazonbenefits #amazonpip #fmla #stdi #ltdi #loa #equifax #TheWorkNumber

Great question! Now, push your HR to end their relationship with Talx/Equifax/TWN and staff a proper phone line for employment verification
That's extra cost, why would Amazon suddenly do that? We already have internal verification letters for free at Amazon. I think the whole purpose of The Work Number is to do an official verification at zero cost to the company, at extra cost to whomever needs to verify stuff.
Um do you realize they pay TWN to take this data off their hands?
