I'm also wondering about this. Should I contact my recommenders and let them know they might be receiving a call? I'm assuming all Re Vera is going to verify is employment history, undergrad institution, criminal record, and maybe a credit check. Not that I lied on my app, but this verification process lacks a lot of details. And no confirmation email when the check is complete? What's that about?
Any thoughts?

I submitted my release a day ago and just received an email from re vera. They said that a check generally takes between 2 and 4 weeks and will commence in the order in which the release were received. Im assuming that we are probably near the top of their list at this point, so there shouldnt be too much of a delay from their end. They also said to send them any recommender updates, so I'm assuming that they are planning on contacting them. I asked for some clarity on the employment "hold". If they are going to simply ask my HR dept for a verification of employment, I wont hold up the process. However, if they are planning on disclosing that the verification is for bschool, I'm going to hold off for about a month or two

Did the school change their provider for the background service from Kroll for this year?
In general, a lot of HR won't even comment on specific nature of your employment. Some companies have websites set up that shows "from" and "to" dates of your employment. Other companies refuse to release any info on you due to privacy issues (and potential lawsuits).
When Kroll couldn't verify employment themselves, they usually contact you first and ask you to provide a copy of pay stub, etc. In the past, even though admitted students went through background checks after R1, their bosses did not find out that he/she planned on attending MBA FT (unless they wrote the letters themselves) until the student notified them. Also, a lot of companies have employees doing PT MBA or other programs, so big corporations are used to inquiries like this.
