USSS Background

[springer1972]

I have finished all of the steps for the Special Agent hiring process for the Secret Service and am waiting to hear from a hiring panel. However, the Secret Service never contacted my current employer as part of my background. I was told that if they needed to they would let me know but they might not have to b/c I have been with my current employer for 6 years. I figure the next hiring panel is soon and don't want to miss it b/c they haven't contacted my employer. Has anyonelse heard of them not needing to contact their employer at the time? Is this something I should remind them of? Thanks.
