Search Criminal Records
This article provides useful, detailed information about Employee Criminal Background Check.
Employee criminal background checks have become a compulsory part of the interview process. This is because the employee might be liable for an inattentive hiring charge if the employee turns out to have a criminal, drug abuse, or sexual harassment conviction in their background that was not revealed because the employer neglected to conduct a criminal background records search before employment. Any inappropriate or indecent acts carried out by the employee will give the other employees a right to blame the employer.A

4 Reasons Your Cleaning Company Needs to Do Background Checks
Chances are your cleaning company employees work in buildings
after hours and have access to areas that may hold confidential
information or valuables. How can you be sure the employees you
hire can be trusted when working unsupervised? Paying close
attention during the interview will help, but another tool you
can use is the employee background check.
More companies than ever are doing background checks on new
employees. There are several reasons for this:
1. According to the Society of Human Resource Management in
Alexandria, Virginia, 37% of all applicants put some false
information on applications and resumes and 65% of resumes are
enhanced or exaggerated.
2. Lawsuits for "negligent hiring" are on the rise. If one of
your employees hurts someone you can be held liable.
3. Current events, such as high profile child abuse and
abduction cases, the terrorist attacks of 9-11, and the scandals
of executives have created concerns when recruiting and hiring
new employees.
4. Federal and state laws require background checks of people
working in certain situations, including working with children,
the elderly and disabled individuals. Plus some cleaning
contracts will require you to perform background checks on your
employees if you want to gain the contract.
The types of background checks performed can vary, but they
typically include:
· Employment verification
· Education verification
· Criminal history
· Driving and motor vehicle records
· Credit history
· Military background
· Verifying references
· Drug testing
Requiring prospective employees to complete a comprehensive job
application will also help in pointing out gaps in employment
and other questionable details. Make sure your application form
requires the following information: the applicant's full legal
name, date of birth, Social Security Number (SSN), dates and
places of previous employment, and any training or educational
certificates received. It is also important to verify the
person's identification. Make a copy of the person's driver's
license and social security card to keep on file.
Background checks can be a complicated practice as different
states allow you to collect different types of information. You
are required to get written consent from the employee before
performing background checks. Remember to treat all potential
employees in the same manner by requiring a standard background
check. If you run a random criminal background check on only one
or selected employees, you may have created the basis for a
discrimination suit against your company.
If you are uncertain about what you can legally do when
researching an employee's background, consider hiring a firm
that specializes in performing background checks. The price for
hiring a firm varies depending on the services and how extensive
of a background check they perform.
You as an employer can be held liable for accidents and crimes
committed by your employees. Doing background checks can provide
you with peace of mind as well as a valuable marketing tool.
Letting your customers and potential customers know you perform
background checks can be that extra hook that lands the account.

The two men were on assignment at the home and while one of them did the cleaning, the other cased the house - taking note of valuables and even ways to get around the security

Several popular websites are available for background checks
online. A few of the most popular are E-Background Check, U.S.
Search, Net Detective Plus and Best People Search. These
websites offer a variety of levels of investigation, depending
upon the employer's needs. Some of the information gathered is
instant, however for more detailed reports, employers should
expect a wait from anywhere between 1 and 7 days. Most of the
major background search firms online understand the importance
of adhering to the strict laws outlined in the Fair Credit
Reporting Act. The Act prohibits certain information (i.e.
bankruptcies over 10 years old, criminal charges without
convictions, etc.) from being considered in the pre-employment
process.
