NCS makes reading reports easy. Our criminal background checks report convictions and serious pending cases that belong to your applicant.
Employers are prohibited from asking about or considering arrest records that have been expunged, pertain to charges that have been dropped or dismissed or did not lead to conviction may not access sealed records, or require candidates to disclose details regarding arrests or convictions that were expunged from their criminal record. In fact, employers are required to specifically inform candidates that they are under no obligation to share any information regarding expunged charges.
Most Connecticut employers are prohibited from considering applicants' credit histories when making hiring decisions. However, an exception exists when the employer is a financial institution or when it substantially relates to the position.
Employers are also prohibited from asking about applicants' salary history information.
