I live in Maryland and I recently applied for a job and was offered the position contingent on a background check. The background check turned up a few charges from 2010. There were a few traffic charges pertaining to an accident and one criminal charge. I was found guilty of negligent driving and the criminal charge was given a stet deposition.
The prospective employer didnt understand what a stet disposition meant, I did however try to explain it. Nevertheless, the employer requested I furnish the case records. I felt it was sort of ridiculous that I had to do the leg work when the background check shows an arrest record but that I was only convicted of a driving related offense. I did how ever get the records.
Now they are requesting more documents, specifically the “Judge’s Findings of Fact/Conclusions of Law” or a “Summary of Conclusion.” This just seems over the top and honestly doesnt sit well with me. Can they legally request all this information from me after completing a background check?
Sorry for the winded question, thanks in advance for any insight!
