Has anyone ever failed a background check/employment verification? If so, why? (If you don’t mind sharing) I’m waiting to hear back from a company and I’m nervous because it’s taking some time. One of my employer dates was off because I was trying to fit it on my resume, but I submitted W2s because I did actually work there.

If you don’t have a criminal record or financial disclosure, you should be fine. If your emoluments dates don’t match up 100%, they will just ask you because it’s usually an honest mistake since most of us don’t remember exact dates we worked places.

You are fine. They aren’t doing just your check, probably a backlog on their end slowing them down. I know people who started working and had their background check end two-three months after that. All good

After working for a company for a month, they got my drug test results back and claimed I failed it. My doctor confirmed the prescription in my system but I lost the job and I am still waiting to get paid from that employer. I don't do drugs either. I take meds daily for an illness. Smh

I think so too

The only issue my friends have had was in regards to DUIs. I dunno if that's an issue for you? Some background checks were deep enough to uncover them and others weren't. Usually they would just disclose it to save themselves any issues.

I’ve been with my current company for 3 years. In this time I have only received one raise and triple the responsibilities. I am currently the fleet/safety manager for a fleet of 8 trucks. Also, I am required to do all secretary work, manage the office, dispatch, keep the books, and manage payroll for 12 employees for 34,000 annually. With the workload I currently have I’m not sure what to approach my boss with as a fair salary for the task i complete daily.
