MyEmployment

Overview

MyEmployment is a service for employment and income checks that gives employees a say in who can access their data. It is most relevant to employers and verifiers seeking a verification workflow with employee controls, as well as workers who want visibility into requests. Its design puts access management alongside verification, but standard checks carry a per-verification fee for the verifier.

Key features

Employee visibility and control

Employees and former employees can receive instant alerts when someone requests employment or income information, then approve or deny a request. Global preferences and the ability to freeze or restore report access extend that control beyond one request. This is a meaningful distinction for people who want to monitor access, and coverage includes workers who left an employer years ago.

Employer and verifier workflows

MyEmployment says it connects to more than 60 payroll and HRIS systems, including ADP, Paychex, Gusto, Workday and UKG. It handles incoming verification requests and can also verify new hires for employers. That breadth may help employers fit the service into existing payroll operations, while a dedicated U.S.-based team supports employer integrations, verifier onboarding and credentialing.

Verifiers can connect their systems through a REST API. MyEmployment says it credentials verifiers, checks permissible purpose, and monitors and audits requests. It also says it accesses only the information needed for a verification when the request occurs, while employers may provide payroll data each pay cycle. The company says data is encrypted at rest and in transit, threat-monitored, SOC 2 certified, and compliant with the FCRA and major state privacy regulations. Those safeguards and controls are relevant to organizations handling sensitive employment data, though they do not remove the need to assess the service against an organization's own compliance requirements.

Pricing

MyEmployment uses a freemium model. The Employee service is 0.00 USD per free for employees and former employees. The Employee / former employee plan is also 0.00 USD per free and includes employment-data alerts, request approvals or denials, and the ability to freeze or unfreeze access. These free options suit workers who want control over verification requests without a subscription.

The Employer service is 0.00 USD per free, with no subscription costs, hidden fees or IT charges, and basic service agreements. That makes it an accessible starting point for employers, although the plan description does not establish which capabilities fall outside the basic service. Standard verification costs 59.00 USD per once: the verifier pays a flat $59 per verification, with a no-hit-no-fee policy and standard verification. It suits verifiers needing individual checks, but recurring volume can make the per-check charge an important cost to weigh.

Platforms

MyEmployment supports Android, iOS and web, alongside API access. That combination serves employees using mobile or browser access and verifiers integrating through software systems.

Who it's for

Employees and former employees who want alerts and control over requests are a natural fit, as are employers seeking payroll and HRIS connections without a subscription charge. Verification providers may value the API and request screening, but should account for the $59 standard-check fee. Organizations seeking a different payroll suite rather than a verification service, or a verifier whose costs depend on usage at scale, may prefer another option.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Employees can see and manage requests, including freezing access, rather than relying only on employer-side controls.
• Pros: Free employee and employer services lower the barrier to using the workflow, and more than 60 payroll and HRIS integrations offer employers multiple connection paths.
• Pros: A verifier API, credentialing, permissible-purpose checks, and request monitoring support a structured verification process.
• Cons: Standard verification costs $59 per check, so verifiers should weigh that flat fee against their expected volume.
• Cons: The employer service is described as basic, so organizations needing capabilities beyond that scope should confirm fit before adopting it.

Alternatives

Employment Verification Software is the broader category to consult when comparing services in this field.

ADP Workforce Now is a paid web and mobile payroll and HR suite, so it is a better direction for readers seeking an all-in-one payroll and HR product rather than MyEmployment's verification-centered service.

Smile API offers a free sandbox with test credentials and mock data, but production access requires approval and is billable; choose it when a test environment is the priority.

Clear Verify offers employers a free plan with $0 setup, monthly and integration fees, making it an alternative for employers focused on a no-fee service.

Argyle uses usage-based pricing and does not charge extra for reverifications, a model worth considering when paying for the data used is preferable to MyEmployment's $59 standard-check price.

AuthBridge is another paid API and web option.

MeasureOne Employment Verification offers API and web plans with direct connections, status-level data, PDF processing and real-time results in CORE, and is worth comparing when those capabilities matter.

Zinc is a paid web-based alternative with per-check pricing.

Verdict

MyEmployment is a strong fit for employees who want control over data requests and for employers seeking a free verification service connected to common payroll and HRIS platforms. The combination of employee controls, verifier screening and API access is its clearest reason to choose it. Verifiers should look elsewhere if a flat $59 charge for every standard check does not suit their expected volume.
