Where should departments file criminal background check information?
Criminal background check information should not be kept in an individual’s personnel file. For current employees, this information should be kept in a separate file. For applicants who are hired, criminal background check information should be kept in the recruitment file for that position. If someone is not hired, it is ok to keep all of the information in one file.
