Sam Z asked:

A previously asked question got me to wondering what exactly happens if a person fails the background check while trying to purchase a firearm. Maybe they were a felon, adjudicated as mentally defective or the system found an old domestic voilence charge in their past.

Will the authorities be called out to investigate or does the application just get torn up as the buyer is booted out of the store?

How can I determine the type of background check a company will perform?

100% Chance of Pain asked:

If a person was convicted of a felony 14 years ago, what should they do when applying for a job when asked about their criminal past? I know there are different types of background checks that companies do. For instance…A larger, national company will have the money to spend on a thourough National background check, but these types of checks are usually expensive and time consuming. On the other hand a smaller, local company may only invest in a statewide, 7 or 10 year background check as these are usually cheaper and the results are faster. How does a person with a non-violent felony coviction from 14-15 years ago deal with something like this when applying for a job that they are otherwise qualified for? I am looking into applying for a small, local trucking company, but I dont want to reveal my background if it is not neccessary as I believe they will likely only do a statewide 10 yr. background check. The company Im currently working for is small and they only did a statewide.

SDS asked:

I was laid-off due to downsizing from a company in which I was employed 11 mos. It was a customer service job in which I hated and I’d like to leave it off my resume in general. If an employer performs a background check, can they discover I once worked for a company and failed to mentioned it?

Can a landlord legally check your background after you have already signed the lease?

Filed under: Law Ethics — Tags: Background Check, Check Background, Landlord — admin @ 5:17 pm

stupid punk kid asked:

My fiance’s mother recently got into a house for rent and signed the lease, then the landlord did the background check after the lease was already signed and now wants to kick her out due to her background. I thought that a landlord has to do the background check prior to signing of the lease. Is that legal?

I interviewed with a company and have received an offer letter from them with a starting date. The only last thing to do is the background check and drug test. Will they get back to me with the results when the check is done?

What do employers see in a background check?

Filed under: Other - Careers Employment — Tags: Background Check, H2, Internship — admin @ 4:56 pm

jsteward72 asked:

When an employer does a background check they should be able to see from your h2 that you may never have worked at a certain place. But what if you did an internship at a place. Will the internship show up or would they have to call in order to check?

I’m going to be entering a business deal with a gentleman who I don’t know too much about. I only know what he has told me and I feel I need to run an online background check to protect myself and my money in this deal.

Keroliyah asked:

I own and operate a small business. I hire employees from time to time and need to make sure they have clean criminal backgrounds. I’ve heard that you can run a background check online first before doing so. Can someone recommend the best background check service online?
