Riverside CA Background Checks
What's Included in a California Background Check?
An employee background check is designed to give potential employers information about a current or potential employee's history. According to Shouse California Law Group, which serves clients in Riverside and the surrounding area, a background check typically includes information about a person's felony and misdemeanor convictions. It may also disclose the schools they attended and when as well as negative information found on their credit report.
A background check often pulls information from criminal and arrest records, DMV driving/vehicle records, workers compensation records, and more. While background checks are legal in the state of California, employers must be careful to conduct them according to the rules and to avoid any discriminatory practices. This may include automatically disqualifying a job candidate based on their criminal record. If a background check shows something concerning, it's necessary to review it with the employee or candidate and make a decision on a case-by-case basis.

The crime rates in the city of Riverside are significantly higher than the national average. Consider these statistics:
New California Court Ruling May Impact Employee Background Checks
The California Rules of Court dictate how state courts conduct business. This includes rules regarding how the court's electronic records are released to the public. It currently states that the courts must maintain a public index, provide remote access when feasible, and that they must exclude a person's birthdate and driver's license number from these electronic indexes.
A recent court case, All of Us or None v. Hamrick, alleged that the Riverside Superior Court violated the rules by allowing for searches based on a person's date of birth or drivers' license number. Riverside Superior Court argued that they didn't violate the rules because they didn't disclose this information. Instead, the searcher would have to already have these details prior to conducting the search. In addition, including this information provides far more accuracy. While the trial court agreed, the appellate court reversed the decision. This stands to make it far more difficult to conduct background checks in California.
