Lunchtime Learning: Lawful Background Checks

Most private employers are not required by statute to investigate applicants' past criminal activity. Nevertheless, more and more employers conduct background checks in an effort to avoid a "bad hire" or liability for a negligent hire. Learn how to ensure your organization's background checks are properly performed.
