What is Customer Verification?

Customer Verification (CV) is a process that must be used to verify your identity before HR Shared Services (HRSS) can provide any personal details during a telephone call. 

CV must be performed for any call made to or from HRSS where personal information is requested or discussed.


What questions are asked as part of Customer Verification?

The questions required as part of CV will depend on the type of customer:
