What Is a MyLabCorp Employee ID?
Your MyLabCorp Employee ID is a unique identification number assigned to you when you join LabCorp. The system uses this ID to verify your identity inside employee platforms such as:
- MyLabCorp Login Portal
- HR Central
- Payroll and Paystub System
- Work Schedule Tools
- Benefits & Insurance Portals
- Internal Communication Systems
It is different from your username or password, your Employee ID acts as your permanent identification number throughout your employment.
Where to Find Your MyLabCorp Employee ID
LabCorp provides the Employee ID at multiple stages and in various documents. If you cannot recall it, here are all the possible places to check:
1. Welcome Email from HR (Onboarding Email)
When you join LabCorp, HR sends a welcome or onboarding email containing your login details. This email often includes your Employee ID, temporary password, and access instructions for the MyLabCorp portal.
2. Offer Letter or Appointment Letter
Your Employee ID may appear in your official joining documents, including:
- Offer letter
- Appointment letter
- Hiring packet
- PDF onboarding documents
Check both physical copies and the digital PDFs you received via email.
3. Paystub or Payroll Documents
LabCorp paystubs almost always display your Employee ID at the top section.
If you still have access to your digital or printed paystubs, this is one of the easiest places to find your ID.
4. HR Central / Employee Profile Dashboard
If you remember your login credentials, you can find your Employee ID inside your profile:
- Login to MyLabCorp or HR Central
- Navigate to Profile, Personal Information, or Employee Details
- Your Employee ID will be shown there
This works only if you already know your username and password.
5. Employee Badge or ID Card
Most LabCorp employees receive a physical ID badge.
Your Employee ID number may be printed directly on the badge, depending on your role and department.
6. Provided by Supervisor or Manager
New employees often get their Employee ID directly from their supervisor or hiring manager, especially in operational or field departments. If you are a new hire, this is one of the quickest ways to get your ID.
How to Recover a Lost MyLabCorp Employee ID
If you cannot find your ID using the methods above, here are the official and most reliable ways to recover it:
1. If You Can Log In but Don’t Remember the ID
- Sign in to the MyLabCorp portal
- Go to Profile or Employee Information
- Your Employee ID will be displayed there
This works for employees who remember their username and password.
2. Use the “Forgot Employee ID” Help Option
Some LabCorp login pages include an option to retrieve or verify your Employee ID.
You may be asked to provide basic information such as:
- Full name
- Registered email
- Date of birth
- Employment details
- Last 4 digits of SSN (if required)
The system will then send your Employee ID to your registered email address.
3. Contact HR Central Support
If online recovery isn’t working, HR Central is the next best option.
HR can help you retrieve your Employee ID after verifying your identity.
You will need to share basic employment information (non-sensitive) such as:
- Your full legal name
- Department or work location
- Hiring date
- Manager’s name
HR may respond by email or direct your query to the correct department.
4. Ask Your Manager or Supervisor
If you are an active employee, your supervisor can quickly access your Employee ID through the internal system.
This is usually the fastest method, especially for new hires.
Why You May Not Be Able to Find Your Employee ID
If your Employee ID isn’t showing in the portal or documents, these may be the reasons:
1. New Employee – ID Not Activated Yet
If you joined recently, your ID may take 24-48 hours to appear in the system.
2. HR System Sync Delay
LabCorp uses multiple tools (HR Central, payroll systems, scheduling apps).
Sometimes the systems take time to sync, causing your Employee ID to appear late.
3. Incorrect Login Portal
Many new employees confuse:
- Patient Portal (lab results)
with - Employee Portal (MyLabCorp)
Ensure you’re using the correct employee login page.
4. Inactive or Terminated Account
If you’re no longer an active employee, your access may be disabled.
In such cases, you must contact HR to verify your employment details.
How to Keep Your Employee ID Safe
Your Employee ID is not highly sensitive like a password, but it’s still important to keep it secure. Here are some simple precautions:
- Never share your Employee ID publicly
- Avoid writing it on shared or office devices
- Use a strong password with your MyLabCorp account
- Do not store login details in unencrypted notes
- Keep access to HR documents private
These practices help protect your identity and work-related information.
Frequently Asked Questions

2. Can former employees recover their Employee ID?
Yes, but only through HR—not through the portal.
3. Can HR give me my Employee ID by phone or email?
Yes, once your identity is verified.
4. What should I do if the ID shown in the system does not work?
Contact HR or your supervisor to confirm if your account is active and correctly synced.

Whether you’re a new hire or a long-term employee who has misplaced the ID, the methods above will help you find or recover it quickly.
