FAQs

Am I legally entitled to use search software to obtain background history on employees for prescreening to check for criminal history, workers' comp history, etc, and after hire?

I recently reviewed my personnel work files and was horrified to read that some of the statements written by my supervisor were flat out wrong. Libel?

Are employees entitled to view their files?

I'm in a job hunt after being fired. I found out that my previous boss is giving me nasty references. Does my ex-boss have a free hand to just say anything? What can I do?
