Employee Access to Background Checks. If you choose not to hire an applicant based upon something contained in her background check, you have to tell her this. She can then request a copy of the background check, and you can't charge her for this information. Some employers request credit checks on future employees. These individuals are entitled to one copy of their credit report, free of charge, each year.
Employers must follow certain guidelines when hiring an outside party to run a background check. Under federal law, arrests that are more than seven years old may not be included in a consumer report, unless the position has an annual salary of more than $75,000. There is no time limit for conviction records.
