employee Verification
What exactly is a employee check??
What exactly is a employee check? Is it when a employer runs employee background checks on potential new employees. It usually consists of a criminal background check, maybe a credit report, a driving record and a employee verification of past employers. It is law that the employer has a signed release to run a employee check. This is a federal law. The signatures must be kept on file for a minimum of 3 year. This information comes from www.quickbackgroundchecks.com
Employment screening
When hiring a new employee our company always does a employee verification of his criminal record and driving record. It is our company policy that when we run our employee background checks they must come back with a credit score of over 600 and no DWI’S on the driving record. Our insurance company requires the driving records have no DWI’S or our insurance rates go way up. Our company uses www.instantbackgroundchecks.com for our criminal and driving records we don’t have to wait for their records they company on the spot.
Background checks on existing employees
Our business used to only run employment background checks on existing employees
until one day a light bulb went off and we thought what about the employees who are already working here we know nothing about them so we decided we needed to do a employee verification on new as well as existing employees if we didn’t we really could not say who had criminal records and who didn’t. We have not let any existing employees go with criminal records but I would say we watch them a little closer. For more information on this subject you can just go to reference.com.
Why should I do a background check on my employees?
Why should I do a employee verification I just need someone hard working that shows up for work on time how is this going to help me? I have found a employer background check to be extremely helpful in my business. If they have some types of criminal records they can be a real problem to my business. I do not hire anyone with a DWI or DUI because if they have done it once they will do it again probably and I do not want this going on while they are on my payroll. I use a company called www.quickbackgroundchecks.com for my checks and I have found out all kind of information on my potential employees.
