Employers shall no longer have the right to conduct credit checks on prospective employees. The act of refusal to run a credit check should not disqualify a potential employee from obtaining the job.
Why is this important?
Employers more and more are requiring credit checks on potential employees as a condition of hire. While reaslizing that certain josbs where the handling of company pay outs may be entiltled to run credit checks, the vast majority of companies are taking unnecessary adantage of those of us whose credit has been damaged by the housing crash and loss of employment.
