Some of the most commonly used food delivery services in the United States are Doordash, UberEats, Postmates, and Grubhub, providing speedy meal delivery to millions of consumers on a daily basis. In order to provide such a high volume of services, food delivery services employ countless food delivery drivers to pick up and drop off meals to customers.

In order to employ such a high number of delivery drivers, food delivery services such as Doordash and UberEats, among others, use third party services to conduct pre-employment and periodic background checks on their drivers. Services such as Checkr, HireRight, and SambaSafety are among the most commonly used background check providers used by food delivery companies.

Unfortunately, however, errors and inaccuracies can show up on background check reports, causing food delivery drivers to be denied employment, or even terminated, by their employers. If you believe you have lost out on a job opportunity with a food delivery service, or if you were fired from your job as a food delivery driver due to an inaccurate background check report, there’s still hope. Reach out to an experienced background check error attorney to learn what options may be available to you.

If you have been affected by an inaccurate background check, the erroneous information contained in the background check report may also prevent you from being able to:

  • Rent an apartment or secure other housing
  • Be hired for certain jobs (and in some cases, you may be terminated from an existing job)

You may be entitled to financial compensation:

If you believe inaccurate information contained in your background check report has prevented you from being hired as an UberEats, Doordash, Postmates, or Grubhub driver, or if you have been fired from an existing food delivery driving job due to background check errors, the company performing the background check and thus reporting the inaccurate information to employers and other entities may have violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). If a company such as Checkr, HireRight, or SambaSafety, among others, has performed a background check on you and reported inaccurate information about you to potential employers, such as UberEats or Doordash, you may be entitled to financial compensation under the FCRA.
