You took on the new responsibilities months ago, and your paycheck never noticed. Your title may not have changed either. You are training people, covering the manager’s calls, and signing off on work you used to hand up. This happens…
Our background-check company handles the legal side of screening. In California, the employer that orders the report carries its own obligations, and a vendor’s form does not transfer them. When the paperwork is wrong, an applicant can challenge the process…

You signed an arbitration agreement on your first day, and it covered a completely different kind of dispute than the one you are dealing with now. This shows up often enough that federal courts have a specific framework for it….
