Employers should always request a driving report on any candidate who will drive a company car or a personal car on behalf of the company since a driver’s record can sometimes reveal a history of unsafe or irresponsible behavior behind the wheel. A motor vehicle record (MVR) details the applicant’s driver’s license number, address, and date of birth, as well as driving history. You might also consider requiring a drug screen; possibly a test with lower substance cut-off levels, such as a DOT test. |
| Employment Credit Reports |
A pre-employment credit check can provide insight into how well an applicant has met past financial obligations and is able to budget and handle money. They can prove beneficial in cases where the employee will have financial responsibility or access to sensitive data, cash drawers, inventory or other valuables. Employment credit reports include personal identifiers; payment history information reported by creditors and lenders, including the date each account was opened, respective credit limits or loan amounts, account balances and payment history; as well as public record information concerning any bankruptcies, foreclosures, liens or judgments against applicants. Pre-employment credit reports do not, however, include a credit score.
