Employers generally conduct background checks on potential recruits and job applicants. There are several ways how employers can obtain information about an applicant. They can use public records to make a background investigation on an applicant.
However, some states prohibit access to certain information or public records that employers can use in hiring decisions. Although information of public record is commonly not restricted, the use of certain public records in hiring decisions may be prohibited.
Just recently, the California State Senate has passed a law prohibiting the use of credit information or credit checks on job applicants. The law-making body argued that credit checks do not actually provide employers with information or reasons on a person’s poor credit rating. As a result, the state Senate banned it use.
The bill is now with the state Assembly for final approval.

Being pregnant is difficult enough but being unfairly treated while pregnant is twice as hard.
In a recent case involving a female employee, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged her employer, a Washington DC-based government contractor, with violations of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA), an amendment to Title VII of the Civil Rights Act (1964) and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for unfair treatment of its pregnant employees.
The lawsuit was filed after the federal agency found that violations were committed when the company promulgated its corporate maternity policy, which imposed greater burdens on pregnant women than those imposed on other employees who have similar abilities. According to the EEOC, the company violated these federal laws because it enforced and mandated in its policy the suspension of pregnant women unless they submit a medical release and required them to submit to mandatory medical examinations that are not job-related or consistent with business needs.
