Your employer will confirm that you work there, but are they required to divulge additional details of your employment? If your landlord can ask whether or not you work from home, can they also ask what your hours are? What days you’ve requested off? How many sick days you’ve taken?

Don’t know if it’s the same but when we get work history checks wed only provide start/end date and that’s it. There’s probably no requirement on the employer to provide information for something like this, and providing information the prevents someone from getting a job, apartment, etc. could get you sued. Easier to just not provide anything outside of the bare min.
