TSG, it is not her credit that I was talking about, although your assumption that a convicted felon cannot have a good credit history is not necessarily accurate. Just because she passes hot checks doesn't mean she doesn't pay her bills on time.
The one recurring theme that I get from some of the posts that I find alarming is the lack of respect that some of you have for the personal and private information of your fellow employees or management personnel. Even more troubling to me is the way that you try to rationalize it by saying that she has a "rap sheet" and therefore it is OK to do a background check of your own. Quite frankly, her criminal record is none of your business and the decision to hire her is also none of your business. She is a supervisor and should therefore be accorded the respect the position deserves.
BTW, you can save your $20 on me. I have had 3 speeding tickets (Mass. State Troopers hide very well, especially on the Mass Pike), one accident (not my fault), and a credit score in the mid 700s.
If criminal records are nobodies business, should we do away with Megan's law?? If a convicted felon moved next to you wouldn't you want to know about it??? I also think there are ways to do a criminal background check with very little information that includes WITHOUT a social security number, there is no law saying I CANNOT do a background check on someone. This is in no way a personal attack on you, I just disagree with it and am stating my opinion...
