Using Arrest, Conviction and Misdemeanor Information in the Hiring Process (PDF)
It is a common belief that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) prohibits the use of arrest and misdemeanor information in the hiring process. As is discussed this is not the case.

Reference Checking - Stop Passing the Trash (PDF)

The Fair Credit Reporting Act - Balancing Individual Rights and Employer's Need to Know (PDF)
Why should you be concerned bout the FCRA? The FCRA is the federal statue that regulates the collection, storage and sale of personal information including, but not limited to, credit histories for employment. This provides the guidelines that must be followed.
