How Our Pricing Works

Our pricing is tailored by product for specific uses. TWN records are typically priced in the following ways.

Flat Rate for All Records

If the report you select is priced at a flat rate, we charge a flat rate no matter the number of records returned. We will not charge you if we do not find any records for the individuals in our database.

By Record Status

If the report you select is priced by status, we charge based on the number of employment record statuses returned for the individual. A record can either have a “current” or “previous” status. Current records show current employment. Previous records show previous employment.

By Number of Records

If the report you select is priced per record returned, we charge based on the number of records returned.
