How to provide employment history from Upwork in background check

Last year, I was working via Upwork with a client on a long-term project. 

 

My future employer is conducting an employment history background check via Hireright. When filling up the employment history on the Hireright form, who should I list as my prior employer - Would it be upwork.com? OR would it be the name of the client who hired me through upwork.com?

 

When I consulted Hireright, they told me that if needed, Hireright will request paystubs, W2 forms, etc. when verifying my employment history which is not provided by Upwork.com. 

 

Appreciate help with this query!

 

Best Regards, 

Gopika

Neither. You were not employed by Upwork or your previous client. You were a self-employed individual providing freelancing services via the Upwork platform for a client.
