Dollar General’s background check process can be unforgiving, especially when they rely on third-party screeners like Checkr or Sterling. One mistake in the report and the offer disappears immediately, even if the information is outdated or flat-out wrong. There’s a good breakdown here that explains how it works and what to do if you were denied over an error: https://consumerattorneys.com/article/dollar-general-background-check. Anyone who gets flagged for something that isn’t accurate shouldn’t just accept the rejection. Background check companies are required by law under the FCRA to report correct information and fix mistakes quickly, and employers are supposed to give a chance to dispute before pulling the plug. If that didn’t happen, it’s likely a legal violation — not just bad luck.
