FAQ

Do employers check my credit report? Law and finance firms are legally required to perform credit checks on potential employees. But other companies may also ask for permission to run a credit check on you before offering you employment especially if the role you're applying for involves dealing with money.

Thanks to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), employers can't go checking your credit history behind your back. They must have written consent before pulling an applicant's credit history.

Illinois passed such a law in 2011, the Employee Credit Privacy Act (ECPA). It says employers can not use credit reports or histories to hire, fire, or set pay and conditions for many types of jobs in Illinois.

Unfortunately, while federal laws prevent discrimination in the workplace regarding race and gender, no such laws exist to prevent being denied a job due to poor credit history.

An employment verification will usually verify a candidate's title, employment dates (start and end), and occasionally salary history and job duties. Salary related questions are becoming less frequent as local laws are prohibiting those types of questions.

In general, under Illinois law an employer can give out negative information about you in a job reference. This is as long as the information they give out is truthful and related to your job performance.

What Information can an Employer Release for Employment Verification?Job performance.Reason for termination or separation.Knowledge, qualifications, and skills.Length of employment.Pay level and wage history (where legal)Disciplinary action.Professional conduct.Work-related information

Credit scores typically do not show up on a background check. Most background checks for employment do not seek credit information, but rather, criminal history. They are typically looking for whether you are dangerous to employ. Some pre-employment screenings do go deeper and look at credit.

Again, a credit check likely won't affect your chances of getting a job unless you're pursuing a financial or management position or may be privy to sensitive information. If you plan to work with a company's finances, the hiring managers want to make sure you handle money responsibly.

Employers can and do run pre-employment credit checks as a part of your application process, but they need your permission to do so. Getting a better paying job can be a good step towards improving your credit score.
