Am aware of no obligation to conduct background checks at all absent a statutory requirement to do so (eg government security clearances, DoT requirements, etc). Unless other wise required, a prudent employer does conduct criminal background checks to avoid potential problems in the workplace and even negligent hiring lawsuits.

Daily Q&A

How to Address Flagging Motivation?

How do I increase motivation levels in the department? How do I brand my business unit as an attractive place to work? I have top-notch IT professionals in my business unit who feel they are "children of a lesser God" because they are non-billable resources and do not get plum postings abroad, nor the glamour that goes with them. As a result, their motivation suffers.
