Running a credit check on that applicant? Does your state allow it?

摘要

Good employers are careful about whom they hire, and some use credit checks to gauge an applicant's character and level of responsibility.rnBut a number of states have sharply limited that practice, with Illinois the latest to act. Illinois now bars employers from discriminating against applicants or employees based on their credit reports. Exceptions are made for financial institutions and jobs that handle $2,500+ in cash or other assets.
