# Wage # Wage An employment verification vendor working from wage records, fourth in the committed employment ordering. Wage answers employment questions from wage records rather than from a payroll connection, which is a different source with different coverage. Its position puts it after the payroll-connection vendors and before the bureau path. That ordering is the committed sequence in the product's own configuration file, not a preference expressed here. It renders on Employment exactly as recorded. ## Products it serves - Employment - Connection ## Position in the ordering - Employment MeridianArgyleAtomicWageFinicityExperianPinwheelCitadelEquifaxTrueworkInstantTruework ## How this integration is built - **connection configuration** — The wire protocol. One repository per vendor API call, not per vendor. - **language configuration** — The field mapping between the vendor's vocabulary and the canonical model. - **flow file** — The four-way translation: canonical request, vendor request, vendor response, canonical response. - **waterfall priority** — One line naming where this vendor sits in the vertical's ordering. - **status call** — Activating the vendor for a lender, optionally with the lender's own credentials. ## Evidence This vendor is on the roster because each of the following resolves to a committed artifact. - `StaircaseAPI/employment-product-product-data product/data/waterfall.json waterfall` - `employment-pp-data product/data/flows/Wage.json`
