WORK EXPERIENCE VERIFICATION:
Meeting Minimum Requirements: If the requirements for a position
list work experience in a field or area the Applicant must provide written verification(s) of their applicable work experience in order to
be hired for the position. Such written verification(s) of work experience must demonstrate that the applicant meets the minimum work
experience requirement. Applicants who do not produce this information as indicated will be ineligible for hire and subject to having any
offer of employment withdrawn.
Salary Calculation: For all positions on all Salary Schedules, the salary amount for the selected
applicant is determined by step placement on the applicable schedule. Step placement is dependent upon the following: (a) all work
experience in public education in Alabama and (b) all other work experience outside of public education in Alabama that, in the sole
judgment of the College, directly relates to the requirements of the position. The applicant selected for the position must provide written
verification(s) of this work experience within the time provided herein if such experience is to be considered in determining their initial
step place on the Salary Schedule.
Format for Work Experience Verifications: Work experience verifications should be in the form of
verification letters from employers and must include complete employment dates, job title(s), job duties, and an indication whether such
employment was full-time or part-time, and if part-time, the average number of hours worked each week. The letters should be on official
letterhead and contain an authorized personnel signature. The College's official employment verification form is also acceptable and is
available upon request. If an employment verification cannot be obtained due to a legitimate reason, for purposes of meeting minimum
requirements an applicant may submit copies of other trustworthy documentation such as appointment letters, contracts, pay stubs, or W-2
forms documenting the term of employment. However, such documentation is generally insufficient for salary calculation purposes if job
duties and dates of employment are not self-evident in the documentation.
Deadline for Producing Work Experience Verification: With
limited exception, work experience verification documentation must be produced prior to any official offer of employment. Work
experience verification from a current employer may, upon request, be delayed until an official offer of employment. Any offer of employment

this documentation by the applicant within ten (10) days of the offer. It is the applicant's sole responsibility to provide this
verification of work experience. The College is not responsible for any cost associated with such verifications.
