Depends on the employer and the job.  Most don't do thorough checks.  Some government agencies can view your juvenile records.  Otherwise, as in the above answer, those that check will consider your adult record.  In that case, the number of years would depend on how old you are.  If you have a minor offense in your background that worries you, you should probably disclose it rather than stress over the background check.  Some employers will fire you for lying on the application if you don't disclose something that will come up later.  Good luck.

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...

Standard background checks are 10 years prior.\n\nBackground checks for high-security positions run 15-20 years prior.\n\nI run them everyday. :)

Depends on the extent of the background check and the reason for it.  Some background checks are legal, some have to be done with your permission UNLESS you have broken the law or are being investigated.  However, we are not authorized to do criminal background investigations without probable cause.\n\nCheck with an attorney in town.\n\nLet me reiterate.  I am Federal, not city, or state.  You can not do criminal backgrounds on your neighboors and friends.  D.C. monitors this, and you lose your NCIC certifications.

Just be very upfront about it.  They have your records.  You must be completely honest.  If you try to hide anything, they won't hire you.

That would show on a $50 background check.  Some businesses do them, some don't.  If they don't you might get away with it, but it would be out there.  \n\nIf they ever decided they didn't want you, they could back check things and have an immediate reason to fire you with cause.  I have seen that happen twice.

best way is to make sure you are hiring HONEST employees ......\nALWAYS check references, especially from previous employers.\n\nsecurity cameras in high target areas (cash register, etc.)\nare helpful in deterring theft also

Two ways: fill out a form from your state agency responsible for making criminal record (CORI) checks and send it to the agency.\n\nSecond way, the federal government and most states have a "Freedom of Information Act" (known as FOIA). You write to the police, state police, any other agency that might have information on you and they have to disclose that information to you, unless it has been impounded for some reason.\n\nForms are often available online.

u have to pay to get that information but employers get it through a nationwide search. some just go by what u tell them. employers pay a fee when they do criminal record checks worldwide. but if u want to pay for that info. all u have to do is go to website that tell u about a background check. when i did it i had to pay 49.00 dollars and that was one thing that came up employment background

I know in NY they can only verify that you did actually work for the company during the time you stated. No other information can be provided, however, if you provide the new company with your SS# to do a background check they will be able to see all the jobs you've held and the salary/wages you received. IMO, just don't lie, it will come back to haunt you.

do you mean to go see a prisoner, visit? if so, i dont think they do background checks of any kind\n\nfor employment, they should do a national and state check,

Yes, mention it in your resume if it's part of your work experience.  If they ask about it during your interview, offer the documents that you have or a contact number wherein they can do a background check on you with your previous employer.

There's the tricky part, Matt.  There are a lot of sites that provide information for free but they limit how much information and don't tend to tell you anything terribly useful.  Putting together an accurate  background check takes time and energy, so most folks won't do it for free.\n\nYou can do it yourself if you have the background info. on the person for whom you are checking.  There is more info. on putting one together in the site listed on resources.
