The Hiring Process

If you’ve applied for a job, the employer may have pulled your credit report as a part of the application process. Although this is a common hiring procedure many WA state employers and employees are unaware of state laws regulating and prohibiting this practice.

Washington is an “at will” employment state which means your employer can terminate you at any time with or without notice for any reason except if the termination violates a contract you have with your employer (doesn’t happen often) or if the termination violates some federal or state law.
