I’ve seen people (nearly) lose their jobs as their employers did silent background checks throughout the year to confirm that they haven’t been convicted of a crime and it come back that Thier registered address didnt belong to them as state police were getting bad information from a databroker
“Nearly” lost their jobs because if they did the employee can absolutely sue. What that/those companies are doing is remarkably illegal, a massive invasion of privacy, and the person/people doing it is actually criminal.
I’m a local commercial truck driver. I need to have a clean driving record to apply for a job and supply a driving record for the last 3 years. I’ve been at my job for nearly 5 now. My company cannot go behind my back and do a criminal search on me without my consent. I could move out of my house tomorrow to a new address and they don’t need to know where I live until next February when it’s for T4 tax purposes. But as long as there’s an address it doesn’t matter.
I’ve offered my address to friends attempting to move to my province so they can apply for jobs with a ‘local’ address. Any correspondence that comes to me I just send back to my friend across the country.
