# Payroll Verifications

> Order income and employment reports from payroll accounts.

Use a payroll verification when the user will connect an employer or payroll-provider account and share income or employment information straight from the source.

## Order a payroll verification

* `voie` — Verification of Income and Employment.
* `voe` — Verification of Employment.

Send the following body to [`POST /v2/verifications`](/api-reference/verifications/order-a-verification), using the required type in `report.type`:

```json theme={}
{
  "user": "018051aa-f7a9-a0db-2f38-6cfa325e9d69",
  "report": {
    "type": "voie"
  }
}
```

## Government payroll

`voie-government` is a payroll report type for government benefits workflows. The workflow can include applicant self-certification and other program-specific steps. See [Government Benefits](/verticals/government-benefits).

## User experience

Create an embedded or invite session after ordering the verification. The user opens Link, finds each relevant employer or payroll provider, and connects the corresponding account.

Use the returned session `link` with the [Web SDK](/link/initialization/web#initialize-with-connecturl), [Mobile SDKs](/link/initialization/mobile-sdks), or [Hosted Link](/link/initialization/hosted-link).

## Result

Wait for the [`verifications.updated`](/api-reference/verifications-webhooks/updated) webhook. When the verification reaches `completed` or `completed_with_errors`, retrieve the report from `report.file_url` or `report.json_url`.

* See [Verification Statuses](/verifications/verification-statuses).
* Review the [Payroll VOIE example](/verifications/reports-and-source-documents#payroll-voie).
* Use the [payroll test profiles](/verifications/testing#payroll-test-profiles) in Sandbox.
