Report flags / documents
CROSS-CHECK“The same employer has two different EINs”
What this flag on a set of documents means, why it matters, and what to check.
What it means
Two pay stubs name the same employer but print different employer identification numbers.
Why it matters
An employer reports payroll under one EIN. Stubs made one at a time by hand often get a different number each time.
Ordinary explanations
- A company reorganized mid-year under a new EIN.
What to check
Ask the employer to confirm its EIN and the pay on each stub. Use the phone number on the employer's official website, not the one printed on the stub.
A flag is a reason to verify with the source, not proof. Apply the same steps to every applicant.
