Dear HR Community,

I have been tasked by my management to roll out a policy on employee background checks.

As I understand it, background checks are carried out to investigate a potential employee.

May I know in your opinion, what can we be allowed to check so that we do not affect the privacy of the person.

And what factors should I consider when implementing such a policy.

Lastly, if anyone has a template or sample to share, that would be most helpful.

We are in the legal industry.

Thank you so much.

Ann
