what happens if you don't give your consent to your employer to do a background check
If an employer doesnât gather records on its own, but instead hires an outside agency or investigator to do its background checks, it must get your consent first. An employer must also get your consent before pulling your credit report. If you donât consent, the employer canât run a background check through a consumer reporting agency or order your credit report. However, the employer can refuse to consider you for the job if you donât give your consent.
