Do I have a right to perform a background check on a potential employee?
By: Doug Rector ~ 11/1/2022

You not only have a right, but an obligation to yourself, your business, and other existing employees who desire a safe and honest work environment. We are each a product of our past. The collection of experiences-good and bad-that define our past do not necessarily determine our future. However, a person's background does clearly influence what he or she can and will become. Therefore, an employer has an obvious need to know fundamental facts in an applicant's background that may play a role in their future. The goal is to find individuals who will be best suited for the jobs the company offers. This takes input from a variety of sources, including background investigations. The second reason pre-employee screening is so important is the very real threat of liability employers face under the legal doctrine of "negligent hiring."
