Someone above was correct - we don't verify past salary when doing employement checks, or performance. We just check that you actaully worked for the company, and the dates.
This is going to sound obvious, but when you do your background check, it's going to ask for your most recent employer - this is the employer that gets called for verification. If you do not want your current job contacted, you can pick any other job from the last 10 years to be verified to successfully pass the employement section of background. but DO NOT put your current employer, and then call screaming about how the background agency told your current employer that you got a new job. They can only verify what you tell them to verify.
A red light ticket won't fail you for driving - you need more than 2 moving violations in the last 12 months or more than 3 in the last 24 to be be flagged - unless it's a DUI/DWI which needs to be more than 5 years in the past, or if you currently have a suspended license for moving violations, that will get you tossed too. If it's a suspended license for parking tickets, it can be corrected, but you better get your licence reinstated fast.
