If the man was aquitted, why is background check even mentionned? You can't refuse someone because he was accused of something, right? That'd be very discrimina

- JoeAltmaier 12y agoYou can actually hire (or not hire) anyone you want. Background checks can find all sorts of things, most of which can be used against you. Only a few classes are protected, and 'accused of crime' isn't one of them.
- totony 12y agoI don't know specifics about Indian law, but in Canada, any "personal caracteristic" (varies on a province basis) is protected under the charter. This is defined as "individual characteristics that are permanent or difficult to change, such as race, colour, sex, ethnic origin or disability."*. Accusation record seems to fit that description. Therefore, it would be illegal for someone to refuse someone because of this.

- JoeAltmaier 12y agoI wonder if 'difficult to change' meant involuntary, like something you were born with. Your criminal record is by definition voluntary. You did something; it was recorded.
