Also, it should be up to the employer to give checks or not based on their business needs and wants and their experience with hiring and keeping employees. The Jackasses Of The Hill have no right to make yet another federal law blanketing business. And make no mistake all the huge corporations will be on board with this because it’ll hurt the small and medium size business who can’t fight back or don’t have enough money and clout to lobby for loopholes like big business.
Big corps will find it easier to tuck the odd characters in some place where they can’t do any damage,
but a startup can’t afford to have 1/2 of its workforce made up of people who make poor decisions.
Not sure if it should be up to the employer as they are requiring me to give permission to access my personal information. Maybe it should be up to the states to decide this, I would be more comfortable with that than the Fed taking action.
I can also see where is might be a factor depending on the job. That said, I know many good people who have been financially devastated by this economy and it has nothing to do with their character. They are good and talented workers and this should not be held against them.
