Carrie B. Rosen of Cozen O’Connor has written an informative article on employee background checks. The article discusses some of the main reasons why employers run them:
* Certain employers are required by law to run background checks
* Running background checks may prevent negligent hiring lawsuits
* They confirm resume and education achievements
The article then discussed the type of information you are allowed to obtain and use and the impact of the Fair Credit Reporting Act on employee background checks.
