If it is caught after he gets hired, then he would be fired. He would then have to list that job on all future applications since it is now in employment history that employers can access via social security. They will then call for a reference and discover the lie and disqualify him.
Upon further googling I think I found the answer to this question:
Quote:
For a fee, the Social Security Administration will prepare a history of your employment, and how much you earned from each employer each year. Presumably a prospective employer, especially one who requires a high security clearance, may ask you to sign a waiver to allow them to obtain such a history on you.

most employers will not go through the trouble of paying the fee at the Social Security Administration in order to see all your past employers. They only run a criminal background check, credit check and they simply call your references. I believe that is the only way they can check to see if you lied on your resume. Most people do lie on their Resume and I don't see anything wrong with it. Why? Because your employers will look you dead in the eye and lie to you with a straight face. In this economy, I say do whatever the heck you need to do to get the job. Screw all the other self-righteous BS. TAKE CARE OF YOU!
So basically only high level clearance for top gov't will actually look at your 20 years of work with a microscope, pay all the fees and wait as it takes some time. --OK---I knew this when I was in high school. -??-This is news...? -OK.
(so I guess if you omit that crappy survival job off the books you had 10 years for 6 months and quit without notice don't even bother putting in on the resume or application. Nobody's going to know.) Thought as much.
Social Security compiles total amount contributed to they system per year per employer. I looked at my "print out". You can go to SS administration and see yourself. It is not something that is casually available to anyone anywhere. If I recall correctly there is a special waiver you have to sign. This waiver is separate from the standard boilerplate background check waiver.
Correct. The SSA will release that info, but it's rarely used.
More prevalent is Equifax's service that many employers report to, which can be accessed quickly, cheaply and is used regularly. Provides just about the same information.

FALSE: Equifax only lists the jobs you had when you applied for credit. In my Equifax report they only have the jobs I listed ten years ago because I did not apply for credit since then.

Please do some more research before responding next time.
Equifax owns a service they call "The Work Number" that provides independent verification of employment for subscribing companies, banks, lenders, etc. It is complete with salary information, job title, dates of employment, and so forth. I use it on all applicants post phone screen, and have since 2006. More and more employers and payroll services are reporting to this database, which makes it very convenient - I can generally verify 80-90% of employment history in minutes.
Old Tired Man : if you'd like to PM me, I can provide you instructions on how to pull your own report, so you can see what I'm referring to. Believe me, it is FAR more detailed than what you think it is.
Do these checks say wether you quit or were fired?
Nope. Just begin and end dates.
Most employers won't disclose that information anyway, so I don't even bother asking.
