Regardless of the state, no employer is required to hire anyone whom they do not wish to hire. It is not a civil rights issue.
Passing a criminal background check means that no red flags or criminal records were found in the individual's background. This typically means that the individual has a clean criminal record and meets the employer's criteria for employment.
The goal of a company is to find out as much as they can about the skills and behaviors an applicant will bring to an organization.An employer is basically trying to establish whether you will be a good fit for the organization and what type of risk you might pose to that organization.Most employer background checks focus on employment history, educational background, credit history, motor vehicle history and criminal background. Employment and educational background checks verify information that employees have provided in resumes and on Job Applications.
It would be foolish to employ a known embezzler as an accountant, or a known paedophile as a school teacher. Employers therefore need to be able to verify that staff seeking employment are not embezzlers or paedophiles when they come to seek employment and this is why criminal background checks are required. If you have a criminal conviction in your past and it is relevant to the employment you are seeking, you would do better to make this known to your prospective employer at the time of seeking employment. At least this way you can argue that you are now reformed and rehabilitated. Alternatively seek employment in an area where criminal background checks would not be needed.
Whatever the employer wants. Usually it is a criminal history report and verification of previous employment, education (highest level) and professional license. It could also contain things like you immigration status
Employment background checks basically consist of a criminal background check which will contain any and all of your criminal records going back 7 to 10 years.. Their checks will also include verification of your previous employments and anything else you included on your resume.. and currently most companies now include a credit check, which will show if you had any bankruptcies, check frauds, or financial delinquencies..

In New Jersey, DUI is not a criminal offense; it is a traffic violation. Therefore, it will not show up in a criminal background search ever and you can honestly state on any application that you have not committed any crimes, felonies or misdemeanors (assuming that the DUI and any other traffic violation or ticket are the only items in your background). The only way it will come up is if your employer looks at your driving record (usually only if driving is a critical part of the job) or if the employment application specifically asks if you have had any traffic violations. Other than that, your employer will not find out and will not be required to say anything unless there is something in particular on the application or employment agreement.
Yes, a Class B misdemeanor for criminal mischief can affect a background check. While misdemeanors are generally less severe than felonies, they can still appear on criminal background checks and may impact employment opportunities, especially in positions requiring trust or responsibility. The extent of the impact may vary depending on the employer's policies and the nature of the job.
