Accessing Criminal Records

In Kansas, it is legal for private and public employers to conduct inquiries about an applicant’s criminal history as part of the pre-employment background screening process; this includes reviewing conviction records. Employers who discover criminal records on pre-employment background checks can only deny employment when the conviction reasonably relates to the position or the safety of the company’s clients and employees.

NCS makes reading reports easy. Our criminal background checks report convictions and serious pending cases that belong to your applicant.
