Formal complaint in background checks
I have a friend who is in the process of making a formal complaint against her manager for bullying behaviour and various incidents. Regardless of how the formal complaint goes, is that something that comes up in background checks of future jobs? Is it potentially going to turn against her when considered for a new role?
Just what the fuck do you guys think are in these all knowing background checks? No. It just says where you worked, and if you were convicted of commiting any serious crimes
Wait, so when I got in trouble in middle school and was told it was going on my permanent record, it wasn’t true? So my employer doesn’t know I was the one pooping in the urinal in the 5th grade? Hah! Principal Salicky - 0, The Brown Bandit - 1
😂😂
That would certainly go against the theory of non-retaliation. Almost no companies will verify anything other than dates of employment. To do otherwise invites lawsuits.
Usually companies will only verify that an employee worked there and what dates. They don't typically disclose things like that because it opens them up to defamation lawsuits. But if the company is bad, who knows?
Thanks everyone! And I guess the process is such that the manager won’t find out about it during the investigation? Wondering whether he could give bad review to future references because of the complaint.
Never file a complaint with HR. They are only there to protect the company. Run from that toxic environment. The grass is greener elsewhere!
No it would not come up in a background check by a third party
