Do they really call their other branch, and check it out?? Do they keep these kinds of records? Where do they keep them? What would prevent them from re-hiring you?

many chains have a main office, that does the payroll, keeps employee records etc, so while the particular branch you are applying at wouldnt have your info on file,,,,,the office would and when they put in your hiring info, social security,, tax info,, your name would show up,,,,

From experience, where I work strange things can happen. We, have had the same people come back and apply. In which, we have asked around some employees, mainly managers if they remember that particular person. So, if bad feedback comes back, that person is not hired back. Don't ask, why they tried again. I do not know. We have kept records for many years on employees. So, I wouldn't be surprised if other branches are checked out. As, if, were they fired, or did they just not come back to work. Why did they leave in the first place. So, really, it is a good thing to have that on an application. Why? I do not really know why, they printed it on there.

I think it's just a way of determining if they have to seriously train you, or if you already have a good idea of what's going on in the company. They probably will do a background check on you if you already worked for their company. There might be a reason why you USED to work for their company and don't anymore. And sure, the company probably does keep a record of every single employee that worked for them, whether it was for a day, month, year or 20 years. That's how you can give a previous company as a reference on your resume, and the company you are applying to can actually go and check to see if you did work where you said you did. Or if you're just BS-ing the entire thing. You might not get re-hired if you were fired for stealing or fraud, if you were a bad employee, like never showed up to work or didn't really do your job. Companies generally have a lot of people to pick from and if you've been fired for some reason, no matter how little it may seem, that will give them reason to not hire you, whether or not you've already worked for that company.

Yes they call their other branch. They want to know if they should rehire you based on your past performance. Most of the time there are no records except pay records. If your job does however write performance feedbacks they may have those on file or they just might want to talk to your old boss. Tings that may keep thme from hiring you might be a bad performance feedback, or your old boss not making a good reccommendation. Basically, it pays to leave a job on a good note and to give them proper notice that you are leaving. If you do everything the right way and are good at your job, most likely you will have a better chance of being rehired. It serves them better to have someone who is already trained.
Good luck

Yes most companies keep these files for a long time. Some of it is to protect themselves in case of they get sued, some of it is it is easier to keep the files than to decide what to throw away. Many of them have computerized systems they can access even if you worked over the other side of the country.
If your record with them was good ti will help but if they let you go for some reason at another location they will find out.

That is a good question... I cannot certify this to be factual, but this is what I believe:
1) It is easier for them to have you provide the information than for them to have to "dig it out". If you have worked for them previously, you might want them to consider what is commonly known as "bridging" your service. That way, you could get better benefits like more vacation, or validation of previous service for pensions...
2) It could also be used to see if you could be trusted. If you worked there before, and lied about the conditions of your termination, it will be found out by Human Resources once your file is re-opened.
Other than those two reasons, I cannot think of anything else...

1. because they want to know.
2. yes, they do.
3. yes, they do.
4. Human Resources, either at the individual branch or at the main location, for up to 10 years.
5. if you did work for them and you were fired, they wouldnt rehire you based on that, as an example.

Some companies have policies that they never rehire someone who quit them once. Or, if that's not the case, they can go back and look at your employment records, evaluations, etc. to see what kind of employee you were. More information for them...

Yes, then they will take why you left into the question on why you would like to come back. Or if you quit or left on bad terms they will either give you another chance or ignore you, lol////
but I think most employers do keep these type of records.
Take Care.

To find out why and how you left. You may be a risky re-hire. It's a CYA type thing.
