What's included in a work history report??

Question

When a job does a check on your work history, what is included? Is it just the job and how long your worked there? Does it include if/why you were terminated? Who keeps these records? Also, does the company have to charge to get a work history report? and how much?

Answer 1

I worked for 30 years for a major corporation and we checked the last 3 places worked, asking exactly the same questions as the previous answer.

Answer 2

These types of records are kept in the Human Resource Department. If you worked for a small place, your records are simply kept on file ( and usually in their memories too).

Your history includes: places of employment, dates of employment (start date-last day on job) duties, salary, and reason for leaving,

You are the one who supplies the work history to the place in which you're applying (who else knows all of the places you worked?).

By supplying the work history, the employer can call your previous employers and find out what type of worker you were. Were you dependable? Were you tardy often? Absent often? Did you get along well with others? Were you a team worker? Did you possess leadership qualities?

Some employers never check. Some randomly check. Some only check the jobs that are similar to the one you're applying for. While some check every one of them depending on the type of job you're applying for.

Hope I was helpful.

Good luck!!
