CourtCheck News....

As negligent hiring, retention, and defamation lawsuits increase, recruitment and training costs spiral upwards, and workplace violence and theft cases abound, employers realize the need to know as much as possible about each employee. Surveys report 30 - 50% of applicants lie or exaggerate on applications and more than 5% of applicants have criminal records. The need to investigate and verify applicant history is more important than ever.

However, federal and state laws regulate the information that employers may obtain in an effort to balance employers rights with employees privacy. Employers conducting background investigations must be fully aware of the various laws and the specific requirements placed on the employer.

In our News section, Court Check will work to present laws and articles relating to the background check process as well as new information relating to Court Check itself. Please let us know if there is something you feel would be helpful.
