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.

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞
