However, in order to obtain an employment contract, that is likely something you would have to request from the employer, given that both sides would... View More

Criminal records never expire. If the employer does a criminal background check then it will show up forever. The seven-year rule is about CONSUMER records so that is stuff like your credit report and liens. Some consumer reports also include criminal information, so those might only show 7... View More

Their actions, as you describe them are odious. Yes, they are bound by the written agreement which, as you say (I believe) provides for arbitration. In addition, there may be legal impropriety in their obtaining knowledge of the HHS report.
