Background Checks Resource

What exactly is a employee check? Is it when a employer runs employee background checks on potential new employees.  It usually consists of a criminal background check, maybe a credit report, a driving record and a employee verification of past employers. It is law that the employer has a signed release to run a employee check.  This is a federal law.  The signatures must be kept on file for a minimum of 3 year.  This information comes from www.quickbackgroundchecks.com
