There is no agency or bureau that compiles employment information.  There are companies that can be hired to do employment verification and history checks on employees for a fee.  Laborchex...

As a previous HR person, I can tell you there are several different sites and agencies that provide that service.\n\nDepending on whether they are checking credit (social security number) or criminal (driver's license number) or employment/residential (whatever the employer/landlord wants usually driver's license numbers and correct addresses.\n\nThere are some sites and other background check info. listed on the web page in resources. \n\nSource(s):\nhttp://home.austin.rr.com/alloy/backgrou...

it depend if the background check agent got a tip then that just only then but i think theres also a secrecy when it comes to that matter.\n\n"Security is something needed in modern society. It separates the good from the bad and those who deserve something or not. Without it, people will fall victim to criminal elements and businesses will not flourish."

They check fingerprints against many databases, including the FBI.  They also check other domestic databases as well as some foreign and international databases.

The endorsement on the top of the back of the check would have the identity of who or what cashed the check...it could have been an individual or a company.

It's not that jobs require background checks, it's just that they will do them for there own protection. I am a convicted felon and am still trying to work through it, we have all made mistakes, some bigger then others.\n\nHere is what you can do, do not fill out applications, bypass the application process (assuming that you will have to check yes in the box at the bottom, you know what I mean)by sending in resumes instead. When you get a call back from the resume you sent in setup an interview. In the interview process the will have you sign a consent of background check, at this time say "there is something you have a right to know, x months/years ago I was convicted of x at the time I was x, since then I have learned from my mistakes etc...."\n\nDepending on when you were released and your family status, you may be eligible for a few programs state and federally funded, go to your local unemployment office and inform them that you have x conviction and you need help getting a job, hopefully they will redirect you to a program that assists reformed offenders to get a job.

Yes. It's called an employer. They dole it out over the course of many years.

They do credit checks and as long as nothing major comes up then you will be fine.  I had a judgment on my credit from a long time ago and I still got hired

You probably need to explain some other things.  You've used what is sort of considered a term of art when you've said "internal affairs investigation"...that's a term normally used with reference to investigations conducted by law enforcement agencies of their own employees.  \n\nIn California, IA investigations are closely guarded by a number of different laws and procedures.  If by "potential employer" you mean another law enforcement agency, then yep, they'll have access to the IA file.  If by "potential employer" you mean McDonald's, then I would doubt it very much (and again, in California, they would not).\n\nBottom line, I suspect, is that it will depend on the laws where you are.  I'm assuming you're talking about a law enforcement investigation but if you're not, then I can't really offer much more.\n\nBetter question = better answer.

No do not tell them that those are like the parking tickets of crime. Those aren't reported the same way I used to work in the court just leave it out. Plus it can cost up to $200.00 bucks to background check someone not every company is going to want to spend that kind of money for every applicant. Unless its a corporate job. But to the point petty offenses don't show up.

To a certain extent yes, because IF something goes wrong with one of their applicants & a future employer it'll backfire on the job agency. And that is a bad mark on their part for not screening the applicant as well as they should've. So, they're trying to cover their own butts. Definitely screen the applicants as much as they can so there's no problems up front.

Try your local workforce center.  Every city has one and the have full-time employment specialist assigned to people with criminal records.

There several ways of doing this. First you must have certain information such as: SS# ,First and last names, place of residents or maybe place of employment. You might want to hire a private investigator. Check credit reports.

Yes. Under the enhanced disclousure procedures any potential employer will get a police record search which will show any convictions, charges, cautions or suspisions. It would then be up to an employer if they wished to employ you. They are likely to ask the nature of the offecece, when it was and the background. Given it is a serious crime of violence they are likely to ask you about this before offering any employment as they have to be sure you are able and fit to work with children

Unless it was a formal caution it won't show. An enhanced check will show cautions and for some jobs the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act does not apply and spent convictions and cautions would show no matter how long ago.
