Employee Access to Background Checks. If you choose not to hire an applicant based upon something contained in her background check, you have to tell her this. She can then request a copy of the background check, and you can't charge her for this information. Some employers request credit checks on future employees. These individuals are entitled to one copy of their credit report, free of charge, each year.
As of 2010, there aren't any specific federal laws regarding how long an employer should retain an employee's background check information. Some background check providers, such as Info Cubic Employment Screening Services, explicitly states on its websites that they'll keep background checks on file forever.
