setting new guidelines for employment background checks

Why Is This Idea Important?: if everyone had the right to work there woukld be less of a strain on the economy people would be more self supporting not relying on welfare and unemployment and they more likely not be living ibn the streets or crowding the courts and jails. give those who deserve to work a job set the background checks time frame 2yrs instead of 5 to search. people really do change they shouldnt have to pay for a mistake they made 5 yrs ago.

make sure corporations that employ hourly staff. give everyone the opportunity to work on probationary periodbefore turnng them away.too many companies are relying only on the word of a 3rd party reporting agency to base their oppinions of people that kmay have had some trouble in prior yrs nothing that threate4nes the safety of anyone. what happen to our right to attain the american dream> dont judge a person that has turned there life around and has paid for the crime they committed

    One of the problems here is the minimum wage. If people wanted to really show their merit, they would work for free and train for free. As it is, this is too expensive and the business has to pay for it.

    Kellyrae634, There are many potential employers that judge candidates by their written words including punctuation and spelling. You are correct that in the future you need to proofread everything you write, especially emails.

    Background Checks are very important. The rule is a seven-year check for most employees, the best way to do this is to find the truth in the application and verify the information on that application to see if the applicant is telling truth.

    Ask the applicant if they have been convicted of a felony in the last 7 years, If the oblige and you confirm, this sets the tone of honesty from the prospective employee, the decision based on the felony is at the discursion of the employer, However, the employer should take note of the honesty and consider the applicant for employment.

    If the employee lies and states no felonies in the last 7 years, and you find one that was not disclosed, That is a sure sign of a dis-honest person and the decision is obvious,

    I recommend www.integrascan.com for criminal record checks.
