In the US, the FCRA regulates background checks for hospitality industry employment, requiring written consent, report provision, "pre-adverse action notice" and dispute rights for candidates. Employers must also comply with anti-discrimination laws and jurisdiction's state and federal laws.

Background checks are typically required for certain positions in a hotel, such as those that involve handling money or working with vulnerable populations, such as children or elderly guests. However, some hotels may choose to conduct background checks for all employees, regardless of their role. Ultimately, the decision to conduct background checks and the specific positions for which they are required will depend on the policies and procedures of the individual hotel.
