MyEmployment

MyEmployment is an employment and income verification service for employees, employers and verifiers. It suits organizations that want employee-controlled data access alongside verification workflows. Its free employee and employer services are a clear advantage; verifiers pay $59 check.

Overview

The service covers current and former employees, including people who left an employer years ago. Employees can see when someone requests their employment or income data and decide how access is handled. Employers can use MyEmployment for incoming verification requests and to verify new hires, while verifiers can connect through a REST API.

This is a good fit when visibility and employee choice matter as much as completing a check. It is less compelling for verifiers whose priority is avoiding a per-check fee, or for organizations seeking a broader payroll and HR suite.

Key features

Employee control

Employees receive instant alerts for access requests and can approve or deny them individually, set global preferences, or freeze access to their report. That gives employees meaningful control over requests rather than leaving access decisions entirely to employers or verifiers. The ability to serve former employees, even years after departure, extends that control beyond an active employment relationship.

Employer and verifier workflows

MyEmployment says it integrates with more than 60 payroll and HRIS platforms, including ADP, Paychex, Gusto, Workday and UKG. That breadth can reduce the need for employers to connect payroll systems individually, although the service also allows employers to provide payroll data each pay cycle. Its FAQ says it accesses only the information needed for a verification when the request occurs.

Verifiers get a REST API for connecting their systems. MyEmployment handles incoming requests and can supply verifications for an employer’s new hires. It says it credentials verifiers, checks permissible purpose, and monitors and audits requests. The company says it is SOC 2 certified and complies with the FCRA and major state privacy regulations; its employer FAQ says data is encrypted in transit and at rest and threat-monitored. A dedicated U.S.-based team supports employer integration, verifier onboarding and credentialing, with ongoing guidance.

Pricing

Employee service is free for employees and former employees. The Employee / former employee plan is also free and includes employment-data alerts, request approval or denial, and the ability to freeze or unfreeze access. These free plans make employee participation accessible without a subscription charge.

Employer service is free, with no subscription costs, hidden fees or IT charges, and includes basic service agreements. It is the natural starting point for employers that want the verification service without a recurring software bill.

Standard verification costs $59, paid once, a flat fee paid by the verifier for each standard verification. The plan includes a no-hit-no-fee policy, limiting the charge when a search returns no result. This per-check price is straightforward, but verifiers handling substantial volume should weigh it against usage-based alternatives.

Platforms

MyEmployment supports Android, iOS, web and API access. That mix accommodates employee access on mobile and verifier integration through an API.

Who it's for

Employees and former employees who want alerts and control over requests are the clearest individual users. Employers looking for verification workflows with payroll and HRIS connections can use the free employer service, while verifiers can use the API and pay per standard check. Referral partners are also among the audiences MyEmployment says it serves.

Pros and cons

Pros: Free employee and employer services remove subscription costs for those groups.

Pros: Alerts, individual decisions, global preferences and report freezes give employees several levels of access control.

Pros: More than 60 payroll and HRIS integrations and a verifier REST API support employer and verifier workflows.

Pros: No-hit-no-fee reduces the risk of paying for an unsuccessful standard check.

Cons: Verifiers pay $59 verification, which may be a disadvantage for high-volume use.

Cons: The employer plan includes basic service agreements; organizations seeking a broader payroll and HR suite should consider a different category of product.

Alternatives

Employment Verification Software is a useful starting point for comparing services in this category.

Choose Smile API when a free sandbox with test credentials and mock data is the priority; production access requires approval and is billable. ADP Workforce Now is the alternative to consider for an all-in-one payroll and HR suite, with benefits administration included in its Plus plan. For an employer option with zero setup, monthly and integration fees, consider Clear Verify.

MeasureOne Employment Verification offers direct connections, status-level data, PDF processing and real-time results in its CORE plan. Konfir Employment Verification charges £5.50 verified activity on its Basic plan, with pay-as-you-go pricing. RUN Powered by ADP is another option for payroll processing, tax filing and direct deposit. The Work Number is another paid service to consider. For usage-based verification pricing with no extra charge for reverifications, consider Argyle.

Verdict

MyEmployment is a strong choice for employees who want control over employment-data access and for employers seeking verification without subscription or integration fees. Its employee controls, broad payroll connections and verifier API make it a well-rounded verification service. Verifiers should look elsewhere if the 59.00 USD per-check charge does not suit their volume or pricing needs.
