What You Need To Screen For

Employers should verify any information they typically use to determine the suitability of an applicant for employment. For example, if you ask about education, job-related experience or criminal convictions, you need to verify if the information provided by the employee is true. You can find suggestions on the information you should verify in The Tools ACBS Provides.

Unfortunately, the courts have not defined a list of jobs for which background investigations are required. The law of “Negligent Hiring” suggests that the more contact an employee has with co-workers, customers and the public at large, the greater the obligation is to conduct a thorough review. Also, employees who have access to employee records and/or financial information should be screened for civil investigations. These reports include any judgments that have been reported.
