Monday, February 2, 2009 - What Happens if Your Job Applicant Has a Criminal Record?

Each month LABORCHEX completes thousands of criminal record checks for our clients nationwide. And every day we see criminal histories that we know are troubling to our clients. However, they use the information we provide in different ways. For example, one client might look at a 5 year old felony conviction for writing a bad check as nothing serious, especially if the applicant hasn't committed any criminal acts since. However, another client may have a policy that will not permit anyone with a felony conviction to be employed in any manner. LABORCHEX can check criminal records anywhere in the U.S. and around the world. BUT, we advise all clients to work with their legal counsel before placing orders with us, to establish exactly how you will use the information we supply.
