Employment Verifications for Background Checks
The University of Montana does not fulfill requests for third party employment verifications for the purposes of background checks. All faxes received from third party verifiers will be securely shredded.
Former and current employees of the University of Montana can provide potential employers with employment history and salary information by accessing and printing their past paystubs from the University of Montana's employee portal. This portal is called GrizPortal and is directly tied to our official electronic payroll records. Current and former employees can access GrizPortal using their NetID number and password. The link is: https://www.umt.edu/grizportal/
