turned down

Corrections are known to turn down applicants if they don't like what the credit report says..........

I'm not interested in corrections, but I personally have a problem with this. My credit is not my employer's business. I know some people believe this is an indicator of how responsible a person is, but this is not necessarily true. What decisions people make financially could be based on a multitude of things...

Off my soapbox now. This has been hashed and rehashed.:chair:

You are quite right and I agree......except in corrections the possibility of you being compromised is a very real problem(especially if there is a lot of debt)......it's amazing the amount of information the inmates can get on the employees....this can be done by just talking, listening, or the freedom of information act.....if they find your 'achilles heel', (maybe debt that's not your fault) you might be offered a deal you can't refuse......if the employee takes this offer(whatever it may be) they are now compromised, personally and professionally.....it does not make for a safe work enviornment.........

I hope this makes things a little clearer..........
