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.
The FCRA defines a background check as a consumer report. Before an employer can get a consumer report or run a credit check for employment purposes, they must notify you in writing and get your written authorization. In some states, there are limits on what employers can check.
