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.
If an employer doesnât gather records on its own, but instead hires an outside agency or investigator to do its background checks, it must get your consent first. An employer must also get your consent before pulling your credit report. If you donât consent, the employer canât run a background check through a consumer reporting agency or order your credit report. However, the employer can refuse to consider you for the job if you donât give your consent.
