does an employee has the right to do a backgroung check without concent?

Question

i started a job ,and i asked for a company auto, no one asked for my driving record and i thought you had to sign a concent form

Answer 1

Does the employee have the right to do a background check on himself? I guess to. Sounds dumb tho.

I am trying to picture some rube walking into a police station:
"Duh, I wanna do a background check on myself and see if I have been good"

Answer 2

Please click and read the link below. It is From the Oregon DMV. Other states are the same, this is just an example. It clearly states that while personal information such as: Driver License number, name, address, and telephone number is not given out, all other information in the records is considered public information. It also clearly states, "Any customer can purchase a sanitized record".
I'm sure your employer already has that information and can do without your name, address and telephone number.
To answer your question, does an employee have the right to do a background investigation into you driving record? It's public information. Did I answer your question?
Good luck in your new job.

Answer 3

Filling out a truthful employment application is the first offical act anybody has with a potential employer. Somewhere on that application, usually toward the end and just above where you will sign that application, you will find language that indicates you agree to a background investigation that will be conducted by that company. The moment you sign that application, you give your consent. You don't sign that application, any further consideration for employment ceases.

Answer 4

Depends on what country for the employer. An employee can sure, people check up on other people all the time but not through thier job.

I know US and UK the employer has to have consent before a background check can be performed.

Answer 5

A waiver must be signed before a background check is done. I believe it is legal to terminate a job offer if the employee refuses. So I suggest releasing any info they might find prior to the background check. You might as well get it out there so that you don't end up wasting your time and theirs. Plus if you are honest, it may be an incentive for them to hire you.

Answer 6

IN MOST CASES THE APPLICATION IS CONSENT. They have the right to protect themselves and their property from would be criminals. Sometimes insurance policy dictates the background checks.

Answer 7

The employer does not have the right to run a background check without consent. However, they can make it a condition of employment (i.e. consent or be fired/not hired).

Answer 8

It depends upon the location, but as far as I know in the US, you have the right to refuse to undergo a potential employer's background check. The potential employer, however, has the right to refuse to hire you.

Answer 9

Lately when i have gone to job interviews, they ask you to sign a paper giving your consent for them to do a background check.

Answer 10

It depends on the company and what their insurers require. Some companies do... and some don't.

Why you would want to do one on yourself is puzzling...
