In some fields it's more important than others, I'm sure. I'm a physician and, as a requirement for applying for certain exams or taking certain jobs, I'm asked to provide either the original or notarized copies of many official documents including my medical diploma.
Most jobs don't verify their employee records, I'm sure. But they could choose to audit your records at any time when you're under their employ. In my medical residency we had one guy who falsified a document in his file. It was discovered several months into his internship. It was a criminal offense on top of everything else. Not only was he removed from the program but the appropriate government agency was notified.
