MyEmployment

Overview

MyEmployment is an employment and income verification service for employees, employers and verification providers. It is best suited to organizations that want employee-controlled access alongside verification workflows; its free employee and employer services make that model accessible, though verifiers pay per standard check.

Key features

Employee access controls

Employees and former employees can receive alerts when their employment or income data is requested, then approve or deny each request. Global preferences and the option to freeze access offer broader control, useful for people who want to manage requests rather than leave access entirely to the employer or verifier. Coverage includes former employees who left years ago.

Employer and verifier workflows

MyEmployment connects with more than 60 payroll and HRIS platforms, including ADP, Paychex, Gusto, Workday and UKG. It handles incoming verification requests and can also provide verification for employers’ new hires. For verifiers, a REST API connects the service to existing systems.

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

Pricing

Employee service is free for employees and former employees. The Employee / former employee plan is also free and includes employment data alerts, request approvals or denials, and the ability to freeze or unfreeze access.

Employer service is free, with no subscription costs, hidden fees or IT charges, and basic service agreements. This is a practical entry point for employers that need the service without a recurring subscription.

Standard verification costs $59, paid once, paid by the verifier, and includes a standard verification with a no-hit-no-fee policy. Verifiers should account for that per-check charge; the free employee and employer services do not make verification free for the party ordering it.

Platforms

MyEmployment supports Android, iOS and web, and offers API access. That combination serves employees using mobile devices as well as employers and verifiers connecting workflows programmatically.

Who it's for

It is a strong fit for employees who want visibility and control over verification requests, employers seeking integrated verification without subscription or integration fees, and verifiers who need an API-based route to checks. Organizations looking for a fully free verification service should look elsewhere: standard checks carry a 59.00 USD fee.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Employees can act on individual requests or set broader access preferences, including freezing their report.
• Pro: More than 60 payroll and HRIS integrations can reduce friction for employers already using supported systems.
• Pro: Employer service has no subscription costs, hidden fees or IT charges.
• Con: Standard verifications cost 59.00 USD each, so costs accrue for verifiers with frequent checks.
• Con: The free employer service is described as basic, which may not suit organizations seeking a broader paid service tier.

Verdict

Choose MyEmployment if employee control, broad payroll and HRIS connectivity, and free employer access matter more than making each verification free. Its strongest distinction is pairing employee request controls with employer and verifier workflows; verifiers with high check volumes should compare per-verification costs before committing.
