Denied employment due to background check. Do they have to provide more info than that. Like an explanation of what in results disqualifies me?
Question Details:
My IT firm provides support for several cities. One required background check of their own. They said I can't support them due to check results. Do they have to provide me with more detailed info than that? I passed check to get employment but can't do job due to client background check. I have a couple misdemeanors, obstruction hgwy, PI, and disorderly conduct. They say they do not have to show proof or results that determined I do not qualify. Is this correct?
Employment and Labor Law Answers
Most employment relationships are what is known as "at will". This means that you can work for an employer, or not, your choice. In turn, the employer can hire or fire someone for any reason or no reason whatsoever.
The only exceptions to this are: 1) If there is an employment agreement or contract (which governs termination); 2) If there is a union or collective bargaining agreement (which governs termination); 3) If there is an employee handbook or other official policy statement (which governs termination); 4) If discrimination is a factor (there can be no termination for reasons of race, religion, age, disability, sex, national origin).
