Absolutely... a simple background check will reveal many things we'd all like to forget. There are records from social security that can show up on the background screen. Unless you worked under the table and didn't pay taxes, they can definitely find out. The real question is - do they even care? Is looking into an applicant's background even something they do? Maybe you think about just being forthcoming about the past work history and be very creative, positive, and brief when explaining why it ended.
Good luck with the job search!

Of course it's legal for them to ask. Most employers ask things like this as standard, it's not like they're picking on you. You obviously cannot lie on a job application if you don't want to face being sacked when they found out that you lied. So, you can either disclose it, or you can simply refuse to answer the question. Of course, if you refuse to answer, they will immediately view that as suspicious. I work in HR and I have recently had a situation with an employee who did not disclose an illness on her application form even though the question was explicitly asked, believing that the illness was now over. However, two months into her employment, the illness recurred and she needed to take substantial time off. My employer is normally very understanding of illnesses and will allow people to take as much time off as they need, but the problem in this case was that the employee was seen to have lied by not disclosing the illness ... so of course they were less than sympathetic. Be aware that dislosing information such as this will not automatically preclude you from getting the job. The employer just wants to be aware.

Yes, even if a application has a check box that say may we contact you previous employer and you check no, then your app. will either go on the no hire pile or the company will invite you to a interview and during the interview tell you that they perform background checks on all employee's.
This is a paid service done by a company called ISUS, or there are a few other but this is the largest one.
With this company they can use you social security number to run a SS Check on past employers. So even if you don't list them they can still view.
The only Claus to this is that some states require a signature to release that information to a company, like a medical records transfer or a credit application, and the way they get around this is in the statement just above you signature on an application that says" I hereby acknowledge and attest that all information is true to the best of my knowledge, I agree to release and hold harmless company X from any liability in recovering records of past employment, credit history or a criminal record. My signature is an authorization to release above mentioned information to company X. "
So read carefully before even signing a employment Application.

Get a No Cost Background Check Scan at https://tinyurl.im/aH3Vm
Its a sensible way to start. The site allows you to do a no cost scan simply to find out if any sort of data is in existence. A smaller analysis is done without cost. To get a detailed report its a modest payment.
You may not realize how many good reasons there are to try and find out more about the people around you. After all, whether you're talking about new friends, employees, doctors, caretakers for elderly family members, or even significant others, you, as a citizen, have a right to know whether the people you surround yourself with are who they say they are. This goes double in any situation that involves your children, which not only includes teachers and babysitters, but also scout masters, little league coaches and others. Bottom line, if you want to find out more about someone, you should perform a background check.

Work history can also be found in a credit report. Your prospective employer could do a thorough background check that includes a credit report -- doing so would require your consent and it really depends upon what type of job you are seeking, how long you held the previous jobs, etc. I would say... it is unlikely for a prospective employer to discover your work history.

Probably not. However, most employers would like to speak with prior employers. They would be suspicious of what you may be hiding by not disclosing them. If you have an issue with one employer in particular, I would tell them that, and ask that they not be contacted. But you shouldn't eliminate all prior employers because, most likely, any prospective employer just won't hire you.

They can if they perform background and/or employment and/or credit checks. They do, however, need to disclose this to you and it requires your signature.
There's an adage: "It's a small world." But technology, however, makes the world smaller and smaller, and if you've burned any bridges, it is possible to find out "scoop." It may not disqualify you, but it may put you at the bottom of the pile.

I just tried https://webmd.im/verispy last year to see if I could Locate my birth-father. My bio father left me when I was 7, and has refused to be a part of my life since. I grew up with my bio Mother and Step-father. I have only ever talked to my biological father a couple times until now. All I knew of him personally when I conducted the search was his first name, last name, and the street address of a previous address he used to have.
When the search results came back based on the minimal info I had, It pulled up a recent address along with even a phone number. When I called the phone no., I heard the voice of what sounded like it may be my step-brother. I asked if Joseph(my biological dad) was there, and he said no but to try back after 5.
I haven't done anything with the info, But I found what I was wanting to have.

It'd be hard here in Brasil for the other way to get to know about it would be accessing the public welfare database for a given public welfare contributor ID.
This ID is given personally so if my prospective employer wants to get it I'd have to supply him with my ID number and password.
After that yes he would have a full display of my work history both as free contributor or as a legal employee.
