> There is no way they can get actual paystub data from employer

Depends on your employer. Per https://www.fastcompany.com/40485634/equifax-salary-data-and...

> Surprisingly, Facebook is among friends. Every payroll period, Amazon, Microsoft, and Oracle also provide an electronic feed of their employees’ hourly work and wage information to Equifax. So do Wal-Mart, Twitter, AT&T, Harvard Law School, and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Even Edward Snowden’s former employer, the sometimes secretive N.S.A. contractor Booz Allen Hamilton, sends salary and other personal data about its employees to Equifax Workplace Solutions.

Sounds like collusion to keep wages below market value to me.

It's gross but I honestly don't see how you can come to this conclusion? How can you keep wages below market value by sharing actual wages in the actual market?

Because the employers are the ones with access to the data, not the general public.

I guess it can be viewed as a way of establishing trust between parties involved.

Collusion on the part of the employers.

it gets better. if you ever leave somewhere and HR dont update employment status and dates accurately with theworknumber, future employers background checks may fail, and cause hiring problems for you (it may look like you are working two jobs or lied about your history)

This is the best part about those systems - having to guess how it’s reporting wrong so you can “answer” the questions right.

Note that for the purposes of the Free Credit Reporting Act (FRCA), this is just another consumer report and you still have all the same rights you normally would, including the rights to recieve a copy of information in your file, dispute innaccuracies, and sue for damages.
