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?
You had better read and follow Federal Guidelines and those of your State where you work (to find out the law, contact the state Department of Labor and Employment). If you're caught using software that garners you information above and beyond what you may legally acquire, you and the company will be looking at a lawsuit.
