The Importance of Background Checks

Assists employers in hiring suitable employees

Used with current employees during investigations

Verify candidates are who they say they are

Fulfill “due diligence”-protect employers from negligent hiring lawsuits

Protect and preserve business property and assets

“Somebody once said that looking for people to hire, you look for three qualities: integrity, intelligence and energy. And if they don’t have the first, the other two will kill you. Think about it, it’s true. If you hire somebody without the first, you really want them to be dumb and lazy.”

– Warren Buffet, CEO Berkshire Hathaway




Other Benefits of Background Checks Include:

Litigation and Workplace Violence Avoidance

Immigration Reform Compliance

Circumvent Workplace Theft

Employment & Driver’s License Verification




Avoid Litigation and Workplace Violence

Employers are at risk of being sued for negligent hiring should they be found to have hired a person with a history or propensity for violence.

Courts have increasingly found employers have at least some duty to provide a safe workplace.

“Nearly one million individuals become victims of violent crime while at work or on duty. These account for 15% of the over 6.5 millions acts of violence in the U.S.”

– Bureau of Justice Statistics




Comply With Immigration Reform

AP-Washington-April 19, 2006 – A new focus by the U.S. Immigration and

Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) will target employers, including executives, who blatantly violate workplace enforcement laws….Employers need to be ever vigilant in their efforts to prevent employing workers that are in the country illegally.

AP-Washington-May 24, 2006 – The House passed a bill in December that would impose fines on employers of undocumented

workers …. Congress passed employer sanctions as part of the 1986 amnesty law, but they were never fully enforced and workers and employers got around them with fraudulent documentation.




Circumvent Workplace Theft

How can a business make a profit when some of the best customers are employees not paying for goods, or taking from the cash drawer or stealing assets and proprietary information through deception or fraud?

Over 40% of retail inventory shrinkage is attributed to employee theft.

Over 12 billion dollars is lost annually due to missing

merchandise, cash and fraud.




Employment Application Verification

Over 50% of all employment applications contain false information.

How Reliable Is Michael Brown's Resume?

A TIME investigation revealed discrepancies in the former FEMA chief's official biographies:

* Work Experience-Brown stated he was Assistant City Manager for the city of Edmund, OK, overseeing the emergency services division. In fact, Brown was Assistant “to” the City Manager acting in the capacity of an administrative assistant.

* Educational Background-Brown stated he was an “Outstanding Political Science Professor” at Central State University. When in fact he was only a student.




Driver’s License Verification

“Just as an employer is responsible for the employee who operates a complicated machine press, employers are presumed to have taken steps to ensure that all employees behind the wheel during work are safe drivers. Employers have "entrusted" employees with driving responsibilities. If the employee has a record of dangerous driving, if his or her driving poses a direct threat to the safety of other drivers and pedestrians, it may be "negligent entrustment" to allow this individual to drive. If a serious accident should occur with the employee at fault, the employer will be liable for any damages that follow.”

– Journal of Worker’s Compensation

“One fatal crash in five involves a driver who is not properly licensed. Not only were their licenses invalid, but 28 percent of them had received three or more license suspensions or revocations in the three years before their crashes. These are not just ordinary people who forgot to renew.”

– AAA Foundation

Your Internal Policy

Authentic Background Services provides the information employers need to make sound, safe hiring decisions, based upon business needs and hiring requirements. Authentic does not provide consultation for determination of an offer of employment.

Authentic Background Services can provide you with a Policy Template to assist in your compliance to the EEOC and non- discriminatory hiring practices.

Documenting your hiring policy and procedures is an important step when adding background screening to your hiring processes.

“Conduct which indicates unsuitability for a particular position is a basis for exclusion. Where it appears that the applicant or employee engaged in a conduct for which he/she was arrested and that the conduct is job-related and relatively recent, exclusion is justified.” – EEOC
