Here are some commonly Asked Employment Screening Questions with Their Respective Answers:
Do all employers need to have applicants or employees sign a release form before performing a background check? YES, and must give disclosure (FCRA - 1681B).
If an applicant/employee requests to review a copy of their background record, does the employer need to show or provide a copy of that record to the applicant? NO, under federal law you are not required too, unless there is an adverse action. However, state laws vary; for instance Massachusetts Law gives all employees full access to their files at their place of employment.
If an employer takes adverse action on an applicant or employee because of a background check, does the employer need to give notice stating that a background check has adversely affected them? YES, employers must notify the applicant.
Are employers required to keep criminal background checks on file? Currently this is up to the judgment of the employer.
Knowing that a county criminal search is the most trusted criminal history check available in the USA today, why do employers run instant state or instant national criminal background checks first and not county checks? Coverage - They want a larger area covered to enhance their chances of finding a record if in fact one exists. Speed - A county search can take days to complete and in order to not create a bottleneck in employment processes, the faster searches are preferred. NOTE: The quality of instant criminal background checks has dramatically improved over the years. Statewide & National instant criminal background checks if accessed through a provider like CriminalBackgroundRecords.com are now very reliable.
