Do I have to sign a new employment agreement that requires things that were not when I was originally hired like a credit check?

Without seeing what the document says, giving you a thumbs up or down on it is speculation. Have a local attorney look the thing over and get some professional advise, rather than guess.

Good luck to you.

God bless.
