[edit] Question
Would a background check routinely involve investigation of medical records? -- FirstPrinciples 10:15, Feb 20, 2005 (UTC)
- Not for most pre-employment background checks. However, it could become an issue in applying for health insurance for someone who is self-employed. I know this from personal experience. 205.217.105.2 15:56, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Background Checks
To answer your question no. When needing a background check, there are various searches that can be made to suit the need of the person needing the info. There are various sites you can find that can provide information online. However, when needing a proper background check always retort in using a Licensed Investigator. Private-Investigator.ws is a good place to go and i've used them. www.Private-Investigator.ws [1] ParentFL 07:03, 22 September 2006 (UTC
for the most accurate Background Checks go to: www.CIAdata.com
[edit] merge
Pre-employment screening should fit neatly under this title unless it would make the combined article too big. :) Dlohcierekim 22:14, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Merge?
Pre-Employment screening encompasses both the process of performing background checks and that of screening for drugs. I could see both this section and drug tests fitting under P-E S, but not the other way around. :)
[edit] More info
The article seems to mostly be about background checks by employers. However, there are many background check websites for the common public to use on... anyone. Is there any information that can be included about this, and what (if any) actions can be taken against invasion of privacy a la public records? Gemini79 06:03, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Bacground Checks Article
Have redirected the above article here, but you might want to use the following info:
A method of acquiring information on an individual through third-party services, government organizations and private individuals in the hopes of making a determination on the future actions of an individual based on past actions. Can be abused an used to commit identity theft. The right to request background checks is enforced by the Patriot Act, as well as other Federal laws which surround the right of organizations to pursue information to make financial determinations before submitting to contracts.
[edit] Regarding the proposed Merge
I see no reason to merge this article in any other suggested way. The other article's length could be shortened and made more concisely focused on its related topic. Corporate fudiciary 14:11, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- Merged. The article now needs cleanup for style and redundancy issues. theProject 01:18, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
