Sample Background Check Policy
A background check policy is the best way to ensure the company or persons obtaining the background check are aware of the rights of the applicant and have clarified the need for consent, approval, retrieval of information and what happens to that information after it has been obtained. Having this policy readily available for distribution to applicants is yet another way to make sure your bases are covered.
