Background Checks

NCS makes navigating Montana background checks easier! Whether you work in agriculture, forestry, mining, energy production or a different industry, background checks are a critical part of the hiring process.

 

 

Accessing Criminal Records

In Montana, it is legal for private and public employers to conduct inquiries about an applicant’s criminal history as part of the pre-employment background screening process; this includes reviewing conviction records. NCS makes reading reports easy. Our criminal background checks report convictions and serious pending cases that belong to your applicant.

Employers are not allowed to ask about or consider 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.
