Can an employer require an existing employee to sign a pre-employment screening agreement (ie. 5 years later)?

typically that "agreement" is part of the initial job application.  For them to try to come in at this late date and try to get you to submit to it, I would say that legally they cannot do it (based upon Illinois Employment Law).  However, check with your state's employment agency (job service).

you cannot force an employee to sign against their will.  if they chose not to sign then they probably had problems as an employee prior and maybe theyre not meant for that company.  I'd remind them that the eval is areas of improvement and that everyone could improve in some way.  if they chose not to sign still then just notate it on their employee file with time/date and turn it over to HR to handle.

Some companies will provide "comp time" if you work extra hours in advance.  Other that that, you would have to negotiate for more time.

Good luck with that.  Legally, all a former employer can confirm is dates of employment.  Anything else will violate EOE standards.  But, proving something was said will be impossible as neither side would have any reason to fess up to any in depth conversation.

Yes. You are protected under Federal Law. You must be able to prove the employer gave information other than date of employment and job type.

Your employer should have a copy

Does my employer count?

I would think it would depend on whether it was "you as employee" or "you as yourself".  Ethically, any personal notes should be deleted or forwarded.  Obviously, it is technically possible.  I imagine you would be on shaky legal ground regarding use of employer's resources for your personal business.  That's just me.  I am not a lawyer.

It depends on your state and your company policy. Most likely you will not after only 90 days.

If you ask the prospective employer to use discretion with your previous employer, they are going to verify your employment without telling the previous employer that you have applied with them.

They sure can.  Check your policy manual or employment agreement.  There is usually something in there about "additional duties as may become necessary".\n\nIf you are uncomfortable conforming to the new policy, polish your resume.  But don't do anything rash.

No, not discrimination. Not only did you fail the required background check, you were also late. You did not say if you listed your convictions on your form, but it really does not change anything to help you.\n\n(Added 5/11)\nNever said you were worthless, yes people do change. 7 years after your conviction all is gone. For simplicity sake, when I say “terminate your employment” in my discussion below, you could also substitute “have your employment offer withdrawn”. Your big question is do you have a case for discrimination. The answer is no for several reasons:\n1. Employers have the right to perform background checks at any time during your employment.\n2. Employers have the specific right to make hiring and firing decisions based on background checks. They are not required to wait for the results of a pre-employment background check to make an employment offer.\n3. Employment offers are not normally binding on the employer. If you received a written offer letter you will see all of the outs they give themselves. If you received the offer verbally, it is never binding.\n4. Your employment is "At Will". You do not have an enforceable employment contract with them; they can terminate your employment "at will"\n5. Discrimination only applies to protected classes or to specific characteristics. If your employment was terminated because of your race, sex, etc you would have a discrimination case. Criminal background is specifically excluded from employment discrimination.\n6. You still have not addressed what you said about your criminal background on your application. If you lied on your application they could terminate your employment simply for that.\n7. Even thought they called you before you arrived and so therefore you were not yet technically late, they could terminate your employment for telling them you would be late on your first day. In most jobs attendance is a big issue. They want employees they know they can count on to be there when scheduled. On your first day you told them they can’t count on you. I have seen a number of people fired for this issue alone.

Depends on the State. Could be 5 years.

You can insist, but your Company does not have to oblige. \n\nYour Company would have to consider if:\n* You come under the definition of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995.\n* You are the parent or carer for a child aged 5 or less.\n* You are the parent or carer of a registered disabled child aged 18 or less.\n\nThe law is changing to add carers to this. But even in points 2 and three, the Company has a duty to consider but not to agree, and allowing someone else to changes their hours of work does not set a precedent, sorry!

yes it's legal, depending on the business and what you agreed to when you signed hiring papers.  Also company policies that come into effect after hiring could apply if you signed.   The big print giveth.  The small print taketh away.

i really dont think thats a requirement.\nAs long as you benn in USA for 5 years after you take out time that you been out of the country

It depends on how long ago it was.  Alot of applications say 'in the last 7 years, or 5 years, or 10 years.'  If it's been longer than the length expressed, he can say no and they can't do anything if they find out later.  If it's an open ended time frame, then unfortunately, he has to say yes.  Better to be honest and take a chance, than to lie, get the job and get fired later because they end up finding out.  Employers are very particular when you lie on the applicaiton.  \nSome companies will ignore the charges even if they have been recent depending on how the charges relate to the job  he's applying for.  For instance, if he's been convicted of burgulary, he's going to have a hard time finding a job working in customer's homes.  I used to work in HR and I've witnessed people do get hired with a record.  \nPraying helps!  Good luck to your stepson.
