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.
