Background Checks Florida
Background Checks: Florida Requirements
More and more people these days are approaching new employees and potential life partners with background checks. Florida has a number of laws that prevent the wholesale searching of wide varieties of private information on citizens, but there are ways that private investigators are allowed to access this information in order to give a complete idea of a person’s life up until that point, and how much you can trust them based on that information. What sort of requirements surround collecting this kind of information, though?
Understanding Background Checks, Florida Laws
While there are a number of laws about background checks, Florida doesn’t spend most of them on restricting who can do them. In fact, that’s fairly easy and specific, legally speaking. Most of the laws regarding background checks focus on what can be done with them, especially when it comes to employment.
One of the most common reasons that third parties are hired to do a background check, Florida as often as anywhere else, is that an employer wants to take a look at a potential employee before hiring them. This has in many ways replaced calling previous employers for references in that it searches for information that they may not know and side-steps personal relationships built at previous jobs.
The issue is that there are only certain things that can be done with that background check. For example, a typical Orange County background check may indicate a criminal history of some sort. It only matters to a certain extent what the criminal activity is, however, since the law prevents businesses from using this as a reason not to hire somebody unless they were convicted of a felony or first degree misdemeanor that has direct bearing on the job. There could be serious legal consequences if they are discovered to have not hired somebody based on an unrelated criminal history.
