In Connecticut, background checks typically go back 7 years for criminal history, though certain types of convictions, such as felonies, may have a longer look-back period. However, certain industries like finance and healthcare may require more extensive background checks that can include a deeper dive into an individual's history.
There is no standard answer to this question. Employers can look as far back (or not) as they wish when hiring employees. Some states attempt to limit the "look-back" time, but realistically it makes no difference.
In Georgia, background checks for gun purchases are conducted through the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), which typically reviews criminal history records and other relevant information. Georgia does not have a specific law mandating a longer look-back period for background checks; instead, the checks generally focus on current legal prohibitions, such as felony convictions or mental health adjudications. Therefore, the look-back period effectively aligns with the availability of relevant criminal records, which can vary based on state and federal laws.
It may depend entirely on the state in which you reside as to how far back the employment check may look, and for what purpose. In any case, without a court order no one (except the government) can look back at a juvenile record. In the case of government-authorized background checks - they may look as far back as they wish, even into your juvenile record and expunged offenses.
As an HR professional, the importance of thorough background checks is becoming more and more evident in the battle to hire the best, most qualified talent and protecting the well being of the company. There are quite a few types of background checks that can be done on a job applicant. These include credit checks, state and federal criminal record checks, education verification, driving records, drug screens, and past employer checks. Even though it may be difficult to find candidates to fill all positions within an organization, cautious business practices require a person to conduct certain essential checks on potential employees. Most companies that complete background checks inform all applicants of the potential background checks that will be needed to be satisfactorily completed to gain employment. Most companies consider criminal background checks as standard practice but often over look all other background checks that can protect companies. It is advisable to do a position by position evaluation of all potential background checks just to be safe. For instance, if you hiring for a taxi cab company it might be painfully obvious to look at a potential employee’s driving record. Another not so obvious background check to consider would be a credit check, seeing as taxi cab drivers have access to credit cards, debit cards, and cash. If hiring for health care workers; drug screens, criminal history, and education verification are critical components to safe hiring practices. Why is it so important to focus on as many background checks as it takes? The annual Hit Ratio Report and Industry Analysis, published by Kroll, the risk consulting company, revealed another annual increase in criminal record hits, discrepancies in past employment verifications (from 36.5 to 49.4 percent) and education verifications (from 14.1 percent to 21.6 percent). Some of the hardest "hit" industries are: • Nearly 50% of candidates in Construction, Automotive, and Retail had positive DMV (Department of Motor Vehicle) information hits. • Over 50% of candidates in Business Services, Real Estate, and Automotive had hits on their credit history. • Over 50% of candidates in Transportation, Construction, and Non- Profits had hits on their employment verification. • And over one-third of non-profit and construction candidates had hits on education verification. Again, background checks are a vital component to safe hiring practices of all businesses, and it is clear that issues with failed background checks permeates across all industries.
