Real remote jobs for real people — checked before they're listed, pay proven or labeled unproven.
For job-seekers done with hype: work-from-home jobs, checked first.
Beta — a public screening desk. No listed opportunity has paid us yet. Every listing below passed our published screen on the date shown. That is all 'vetted' means here.
Albany, New York · Updated by a daily screen
Most job boards list everything and check nothing. We do the opposite: a short list, a published pay-and-availability screen, and the rejections shown with the reason — so you can see the work, not just the survivors.
List current as of November 10, 2026 · 6 listings shown · 0 in lapsed-verification state · Screened: 30+ opportunities · Passed: 6 · Rejected or deferred: 20+
The List
Filter by where you live and the kind of work you want. Every card shows what we read, where we read it, and when we checked it.

The published standard
This is the whole screen, in plain language. If a listing fails any one of these, it doesn't appear above — it appears in Rejected & Why, with the criterion named.
Unpaid training, assessments, prep, and waiting time go in the denominator. The admission bar is $23/hr — $20 is the survival floor, not the ticket in.
We multiply by 0.80 before comparing to the floor, because the worker carries both sides of payroll tax and no benefits. Commission, bonuses, and “up to” rates count as $0 toward the floor.
Employer-scheduled shifts count as proof. Task-platform claims require worker-report evidence, not platform copy.
No long waitlists, no empty queues. Being accepted onto a platform is not the same as work existing.
We also label how many seats a posting plausibly has: an ongoing intake is a different bet from one seat with five hundred applicants, and we say which is which.
The payer's identity and posting are checked on the employer's own site; state eligibility is checked in the posting itself.
Listings are re-verified every 7 days, demoted if a check lapses, and removed after 30 days unverified.
What “vetted” means here: Vetted = met the criteria above on the check date shown. It is not a guarantee of hiring, pay, or employer conduct. No response is the most common outcome in remote hiring — that is normal, not a sign you did anything wrong.
Watch
These platforms do pay people — but the hours are not reliable enough to count as income today. We keep them here, separate from The List, and re-check them daily.
AI training tasks. Documented payer. Worker reports through Oct–Nov 2026 describe empty task queues for weeks at a time and selective acceptance (~2.6% in published syntheses). Fails our readily-available criterion today; re-checked by the daily loop.
Expert contract marketplace. Real payer for expert tracks; acceptance is highly selective (~0.6%) and project availability is unpredictable. Fails readily-available today.
STEM labeling. Same availability pattern as its peer platforms; insufficient reliable-hours evidence as of Nov 10, 2026.
Rejected & Why
Each entry names the criterion, the observed fact, and where we read it. Nothing else is implied about any company listed here.
Rejected means 'failed this published rubric or lacked sufficient evidence on this date' — not that a company is illegitimate. What would change our mind is stated in our standard, and employers can request a re-check on the Corrections page.

About + Limitations
Show Me The Paycheck is a machine-run screening desk, human-owned, based in Albany, New York. Research and drafting are done by an AI system; the standard, the vetoes, and the corrections are owned by a person. Eligibility checks were built New-York-first — readers in other states should confirm eligibility on the employer's posting. This is an information resource, not an employment agency, and nothing here is career or financial advice.
Corrections & Contact
Employers: if we got a fact wrong, tell us and we will re-verify within 7 days and publish the correction here. Readers: report a closed or changed listing the same way.
