Background Checks
NCS makes navigating Idaho background checks easier! Whether you work in food production, manufacturing, aerospace, technology, tourism, outdoor recreation, energy, or another industry, background checks are a critical part of the hiring process.
Accessing Criminal Records
In Idaho, public and private employers may legally inquire about an applicant’s criminal history during the pre-employment process, including conviction records.
NCS makes reviewing these reports straightforward, highlighting convictions and serious pending cases relevant to your applicant.
Employers may not:
- Ask about or consider expunged arrest records
- Review charges that were dropped, dismissed, or not resulting in conviction
- Access sealed records
- Require candidates to disclose expunged records
Candidates must be clearly informed that they do not need to reveal expunged charges.
