Yes most companies do. It is only legal if you sign the statement giving them authorization to do so. It may be stated on the application or on a seperate sheet of paper. In order to get the job or be considered then you will have to sign the authorization.

I guess. The last job I got, they said they were going to check my credit and check if I had a criminal record. My credit sucks, and I WAS arrested on a minor charge last year - but it was still "criminal."
But the company cleared me. That means either they didn't REALLY check, or standards for employment are REALLY low these days...
Love, Jack.

yes some employers do check your credit, but you have to sign a paper before they can do it.

Some business's do..Like some Government jobs or jobs with a finanicial institute (not all). And it is legal, because they want to be sure who they are hiring, so they do a background and credit hek, so there is no liability..

If you fill out and sign an employment application you are telling them they have your permission to prove that what you say is so - hence you give them the go ahead to do it

Yes and yes....If you have some really bad info on your report just be honest with them and you probably can get by with an explanation. Divorce, laid-off, bad business etc.
