I don't even believe a company should be able to drug test without you giving them a reason to suspect drug use, so hell no, they should not be able to check your credit rating.
don't try to get a job with a federal law enforcement agency then
Regarding Hiring, Should Companies be able to Check your Credit? Is it THEIR business?
Even IF bad credit does statistically say you are more likely to steal, should a company know what your personal finances are?
Why?
Why NOT?
Not to worry- I have no interest in law enforcement as a career. That being said, I'm not saying that I don't work for a company who does these things, it's just that I think it's none of their business.
. but if someone applies for a job handling say my money or your stocks or someone else's pensions I sure don't want someone who is facing bankruptcy or foreclosure doing that.
I think its pretty much the employer's call and I agree with you-if you don't want an employer doing that its your absolute right not to apply for a job with such an employer. but if someone applies for a job handling say my money or your stocks or someone else's pensions I sure don't want someone who is facing bankruptcy or foreclosure doing that.
I understand your concerns, but a good credit rating does not always correlate to personal integrity. I've known plenty of people of great moral character who are bad credit risks, and plenty of people who are morally bankrupt that have good credit ratings.
but the bottom line is I believe those who run businesses should have a great deal of latitude in what they can do as to hiring and firing.
that is my main point
Can someone explain the logic to me of why your credit ranting goes down with an employment credit check?
I don't have real problems with credit checks by potential employers aside from that instance. Trying to get a job shouldn't hurt your credit rating.

hard to say-some feds with high security clearances get delayed on instant background checks to buy guns because there is constant activity of government agencies checking on them.
But it seems having your credit checked should be neutral
Not relevant
But as I understand the formula, it's an inquiry and generally results in 5 point decline for a single with rapidly rising deductions the more inquiries that you apply for. So if you apply for 10 jobs and all 10 check your credit, that will hurt considerably.
That makes no sense.

Absolutely not. Your credit score is completely irrelevant to your ability to do your job.
