WHEN IS A CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK REQUIRED BY LAW?
Each state within the U.S. has their own set of laws
that govern when a criminal background check must be
conducted for certain occupations. Most of the time,
these occupations are regulated by state agencies or
licensing boards. Some examples are:
Security
Investigators
Insurance Providers
Child Care
Elderly Care
These are just a few of the jobs requiring criminal
background checking. For more information on your state
laws and you occupation, you'll need to contact the
licensing board or state agency for your particular
industry.
If your industry does require a criminal background
check and you live in California, Louisiana,
Mississippi, North Carolina, New York, Tennessee or
Vermont you may be eligible to access your state
criminal repository directly.
All you need to do is submit a request to the
repository along with the applicant or employee
information. The information required to access these
criminal background databases is usually the individuals
name and date of birth.
If your industry does not require a criminal
background check, or you live in a state that's not in
the above list, then you must use a criminal data broker
or conduct the
criminal background check yourself.
SOME FEDERAL LAWS REQUIRE CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECKS
In some cases, Uncle Sam requires a criminal check be
conducted. These cases can include, but are not
limited to:
- Those individuals carrying hazardous materials
- Those involved in aviation
- Those involved in the banking industry
In cases where the law requires a criminal background
check before hiring a person and it's not conducted,
employers can face stiff penalties for not doing so.
