I am applying for different roles outside of Amazon, I took a small career break from flex for family reasons and did not receive pay. When other roles do an employment background check, will it be considered employment as I am technically an employee but not receiving pay for a period of time ?
So I am applying to this firm which requires a background check that might include my employment history. In June 2025, I left my previous employer to do a solo trip but my project manager switched me to a flex employee so by the end of the year when I come back, I’ll still have a job. Fast forward, I found out there were internal changes and my position was replaced by someone else. My supervisor says they’ll reach out when they have work for me but I decided to apply for other positions.
Now I am still technically working for my previous employer, I have access to my ADP and emails but no work is given to me. Does this count as employment if a background check is done on me? Will these third party background checks use The Work Number to see that I haven’t been paid close to a year now but still has active status in the company and find it suspicious?
How does this end up happening?
