Yes, certainly. If I contact your last employer and you are no longer there, you ARE unemployed, becasue you are seeking work with me.
They can't ask this question in this manner. A way around may be for the employer that is hiring you to ask the previous employer are you re-hireable. In most cases they only verify dates of employment and salary for legal reasons. This is the general practice.
no
Usually all new hires from that point forward, but I have done work for companies which, because of a new contract they received have to do background checks on existing personnel. Remember that anyone can do a background check on anyone anytime they feel like it. It's how you use it that the law is interested in. In the case of existing employees an employer would have to get their permission to conduct and use a background check, unless the consent form that they signed when they were hired included future checks. An employer could tell an employee that he/she needs to sign the consent to be background checked otherwise you can't work for this client hence they may not be able to continue working there. This is why I advise employers to use a consent form that covers them now and in the future.
Yes. A proper background check will reveal that.
You hire the right people by looking at there qualifications and background. A background check should tell you what type of person they are.
That will depend on the company requesting the background check. They may have set limits on time and location that would cause it not to show. Or, depending on the specific job, they may not care. But only their Human Resources people can tell you.
No they do not. If you tell them you lived in another state then they will do that states check... so if you dont tell them they will only do the state you are taking the test in... ;)
Is a previous employer allowed to tell a prospective employer you were fired when you were not in Nevada?
You don't have to tell your employer if you have chlamydia unless you are a sex worker.
Legally, your old employer can report the theft to the authorities, but they generally would not have the authority to directly inform your current employer. However, if the theft resulted in legal action and it became public knowledge, it is possible that your current employer could find out through other means, such as background checks or media coverage.
For basic team member applicants, no. If u are offered a management position or are being promoted, yes they run a check and cross reference your history with what you provided on your application. Their main concern are theft related offenses.
Yes you have to your employer
