Nowadays your information is everywhere. Not surprisingly, employers increasingly conduct background checks on job applicants. Background reports include a wealth of information about your life, including criminal convictions, arrests, bankruptcies, debts, employers, and credit scores. Employers frequently use this information when making hiring decisions.
What many job applicants don’t know is that your background report may contain totally inaccurate information. In fact, it is not uncommon for a background report to erroneously include information—even criminal offenses—about a different person. In other cases a background report may contain old criminal convictions or arrests that should play no role in an employer’s hiring decision.
State and federal laws strictly regulate what information may be reported and whether an employer may consider it when reviewing your application. Federal law requires employers to provide all job applicants with a clear disclosure in writing of their intent to obtain a background report. Employers have to get your authorization before they obtain a background report. Employers must also give you notice of their intent not to hire you because of information contained in your background report. You are entitled to see a copy of your background report before your application is denied.
