E-Verify vs Yoti Right to Work

E-Verify is a free web service that lets enrolled employers electronically check newly hired employees’ eligibility to work in the United States. It compares information from Form I-9 with records available to DHS and/or SSA. Employers can enroll through Employer, E-Verify Employer Agent, Corporate Administrator, or Web Services access; the Web Services route requires the employer or agent to develop software to create and manage cases. Photo matching asks users to compare an image on certain Form I-9 documents with one shown in E-Verify. The system also flags cases needing closure, new case updates, and work authorization documents nearing expiration. E-Verify+ lets participating employers and new hires work together electronically on Form I-9 and the verification process. Access uses Login.gov, including multifactor authentication, and employers are directed to protect employees’ personally identifiable information. Company enrollment must be completed in one session because progress cannot be saved. Enrolled employers can register any number of users to create cases. A tentative nonconfirmation is not necessarily a finding that an employee is unauthorized; employers must notify the employee and follow the referral process. The service was founded in 1996.

Yoti Right to Work provides digital right to work checks for UK and Irish citizens. Candidates can upload identity documents and a selfie, use IDV+ to bring a check into the Digital ID app, or share a reusable Digital ID from their phone. Yoti and the Post Office describe themselves as the UK’s first certified Identity Services Provider under the Digital Identity and Attributes Trust Framework. Employers receive a report containing a passport image and certification metadata, and can keep employee data on Yoti’s encrypted systems or view it in a candidate-management portal. Checks can also be paired with DBS checks. For candidates who are not British or Irish, employers can use a UKVI share code for an immigration status check. Businesses can start with a no-code portal or embed verification in a website or app, with API and SDK support available. Yoti says it integrates with over 70 SaaS products; BambooHR is listed for onboarding checks. Pricing is on request, and the product page directs businesses to contact sales.
