The increased use of background checks to select workers has gotten the government's attention. A component of the EEOC's eRACE Initiative is forcing employers to examine their seemingly facially neutral criteria for selecting employees, or risk been charged with discriminatory hiring practices. How far can an employer go in searching an applicant's history before making the decision to offer or not offer employment?
