An employer should be able to make the decision to hire while knowing all the pertinent facts. If a bad guy has paid his debt, turned over a new leaf, and now wants to be a productive part of society, then the employer would hopefully see that and hire him anyway.
I don't have any problem with the criminal checks. I'm uneasy about credit checks, but if part of the job is to handle large sums of money and/or have a corporate credit card, then I think it's reasonable for an employer to see if a person is responsible with money.
