Thank you! So is it just dates of employment that are validated?

Depends on the check - basic one for most employment is very different than those for security clearance.
Assuming the most basic ones, they’ll confirm employment dates and whether you were let go for cause (fired) or left by your choice. It won’t go into projects or clients. It probably won’t include title changes but it will likely include last title verification. It will check for conviction records, and it might include a credit check (but in most states I believe they have to inform you upfront about a credit report).
In some states you are entitled to a copy of the report so you can correct or challenge the contents.
Watch for the title… you need to use what the company HR system listed your title as, not a client facing or LinkedIn version
Leave of absence might show up I think the rest of the stuff no
I think companies cannot legally disclose if you were fired or not, they just confirm the dates of employment and that should match your resume. If you took a leave of absence, don’t fill it in with a job that you can’t back up with a contact, offer letter, or w2. They will try to verify all employment listed on the resume & if they can’t get in touch with the POCs, someone will reach out to request more documentation from you. Specific teams won’t come up at all.
