CROSS-CHECK“The W-2 is from a different employer”
What this flag on a set of documents means, why it matters, and what to check.
What it means
The W-2 and the current pay stub name different employers.
Why it matters
It's a note, not an inconsistency: it means the W-2 shows past income, not the current job.
Ordinary explanations
- A job change since last year, which is common.
What to check
Ask about the job change, and confirm the current job with the employer directly.
A flag is a reason to verify with the source, not proof. Apply the same steps to every applicant.
