MyEmployment

Overview

MyEmployment brings employment and income verification together with controls that let employees manage access to their data. It is best suited to employers and verifiers that want employee-facing request controls alongside established verification workflows. The employee and employer services cost nothing; verifiers pay $59 per standard verification.

Key features

Employee control over access

Employees and former employees can receive instant alerts when someone requests employment or income data, then approve or deny each request. Global preferences and the option to freeze access provide broader control when managing requests one by one is not practical. Coverage extends to people who left an employer years ago, an important distinction for former employees seeking verification later.

Employer and verifier workflows

MyEmployment says it connects to more than 60 payroll and HRIS platforms, including ADP, Paychex, Gusto, Workday and UKG. It handles incoming verification requests and can also provide checks for employers’ new hires. Verifiers can connect their own systems through a REST API, making the service relevant to organizations that need to incorporate verification into an existing workflow.

The company says it credentials verifiers, checks permissible purpose, and monitors and audits requests. It also says it is SOC 2 certified, complies with the FCRA and major state privacy regulations, and encrypts employee data in transit and at rest while monitoring for threats. The employer FAQ says it accesses only information needed for a verification at the time of the request, while allowing employers to provide payroll data each pay cycle. A dedicated U.S.-based team supports employer integration, verifier onboarding and credentialing, with ongoing guidance.

Pricing

Employee service — free. Free for employees and former employees. It includes employment-data alerts, the ability to approve or deny requests, and controls to freeze or unfreeze access. This is the fitting option for individuals who want visibility and control without a subscription.

Employer service — free. Free for employers, with no subscription costs, hidden fees or IT charges, and basic service agreements. It makes the service accessible to employers without a recurring platform fee; the plan description does not promise a particular integration or support level beyond the stated basic agreements and support model.

Standard verification — $59, paid once. The verifier pays a flat $59 per verification, with no-hit-no-fee standard verification. This suits verifiers needing individual checks, but the per-check charge is a cost to account for when handling volume.

Platforms

MyEmployment supports Android, iOS, web and API access. That spans employee mobile access and system connections for organizations, though the API is specifically described as a verifier REST API.

Who it's for

Employees and former employees who want alerts and a say in access are the clearest individual fit. Employers can use the free service for verification workflows, while verifiers may value the API and request-screening controls. Organizations seeking verification outside domestic coverage should look elsewhere: MyEmployment’s stated geographic coverage is domestic.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Free employee and employer services remove subscription costs for those groups; employee approvals, global preferences and access freezes give individuals meaningful control; more than 60 payroll and HRIS integrations and a verifier API support organizational workflows.
• Cons: Standard checks cost verifiers $59 each, so repeated checks carry a direct per-verification charge; domestic coverage limits its fit for cross-border needs; employers receive basic service agreements rather than a stated paid tier with expanded terms.

Alternatives

• Smile API is a better fit for teams that want a free API sandbox for testing: its free Sandbox uses test credentials and mock data, while production access requires approval and is billable.
• Clear Verify is worth considering for employers prioritizing a stated $0 monthly web plan with no setup or integration fees.
• Argyle may suit API-focused buyers looking for usage-based pricing and no extra charge for reverifications.
• AuthBridge is an option for buyers who want to discuss pricing with sales.
• Experian Data Enrichment is a paid web alternative.
• ADP Workforce Now is a paid web and mobile payroll and HR suite; its Select plan covers payroll and HR, while Plus adds benefits administration.
• Employment 360 is a paid web alternative.
• MicroBilt SPOT Employment Locator is a paid web alternative.
• Browse Employment Verification Software for more options.

Verdict

Choose MyEmployment if you need domestic employment and income verification with free employee and employer access, particularly when employee control and verifier-system connections matter. Its strongest distinction is combining individual access controls with employer integrations and a verifier API. Look elsewhere if you need cross-border coverage or, as a verifier, want to avoid a $59 charge for each standard check.
