I got laid off but due to the WARN act, I am still on the payroll for a while. If a background check is done to look at employment history, do they see my official working end date, or the day I am off the payroll?

In my experience, background checks do not show specific dates of employment history at all. Those are usually used to see things like driving records, criminal records, credit, etc. If they need to verify specific employment dates, they call the employer.

Thank you!!

Yes, I agree with D1. They usually focus on your personal records than your previous employment history. Don't worry too much :)

Awesome that’s nice to also hear from a recruiter! Thank you!

I don't think so. Background checks are usually done on personal info. Dates aren't included.

It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.

Howdy…I need a sanity check! As part of my previous role, I reported security non-compliance and gross security misrepresentations.

I was extremely concerned that systems housing personal credit data on all US consumers were not adequately protected. I essentially risked my job to protect data and I’m not sure if it mattered.
