BackgroundCheck2.jpegCalifornia Court Ruling Could Complicate Background Checks
(Source: CalChamber)
California employers should take note of a recent appellate court case that could complicate employment background checks. When conducting background checks, it’s common to search for a person’s name in conjunction with a birthdate or driver’s license number so you can be sure you’re looking at the right records. But, in All of Us or None v. Hamrick, a California appellate court ruled that neither an individual’s birthdate nor driver’s license number can be used to identify someone when searching a court’s electronic criminal index. More details.
