How can I get my employment records, and not use one of the scam websites?

Don't you know what you have done with your life? If someone is telling you that you can get this on-line, they are definitely scamming you. A website does not exist with this information.

Think back to your first job and then think about every job since then. Make sure there aren't any unidentified time gaps since you graduated from high school. That is your employment history.

In the future, keep this as a permanent record and add to it everytime you change jobs.

Go to the unemployment office and you can also run all three credit reports.
Hope this helps. Good Luck.

If you are talking about pay records, then the other answerers have already answered your question. If you are talking about the records that are in your personnel file, then in most states you can only get those records if your former employers will agree to give them to you. You can send them a request (with a release), but it is unlikely that they will send you any information unless you are in one of the few states where an employee has a right to review his or her personnel records.

I represent employers (in Texas, Louisiana, and Arkansas) and I would always advise them to never send ex-employees their personnel records.

Any website that says they can get employment records (or even payroll information for that matter) from an ex-employer is likely to be a scam.

I'm not sure what you mean by "employment records."
Are you in the US? If you are, you should get a yearly earnings statement from Social Security around the time of your birthday. If you haven't gotten one, you can request it, I believe, from the website (www.ssa.gov). This won't show who you worked for, but it will show what you made each year.
Besides that, your credit report may have some of this information on it, but it may not be comprehensive.
A background check on yourself may yield this information as well, however, it may not be comprehensive.
Depending on exactly what the information is that you need, there may be other options available.

I would go straight to your local Employment Department directly. That's pretty much the surest place to get them. I've been mailed my Employment records from them occasionally.
