Should you run background checks?

Background checks are a crucial part of the hiring process. You should check the background of applicants for any position as thoroughly as possible. This check should include criminal records, so that you can protect yourself as well as your customers. The next page list some of the benefits of performing criminal background checks.

Security Information Legal Systems has legal counsel on staff to advise our clients at no charge.

You are able to:

1) Maintain the integrity of your hiring practices by selecting the most qualified candidate(s):
2) Protect your assets, employees, and third parties from possible criminal activity; and
3) Insulate your business from liability that might arise if you fail to perform background checks.

We know the information obtained can be provided to you legally. Contact us with any questions.

Deciding when to use background checks:

1) If your employees have contact with the public and occupy positions of public trust.

2) If your employee engages in an occupation that could place members of the public at risk. Example: An employee driving a company vehicle or their vehicle on company business.

3) Consider the circumstances the employee will be placed in performing job duties. Example: Access to cash, checks, merchandise, inventory, etc.

Be careful how you check into an applicant’s criminal background. You cannot make a hiring decision based on an arrest record, only conviction records should be obtained. For credit reports you must comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. You should consult with legal counsel before conducting any background screen.

There are no contracts to sign, you can choose the information that will be most beneficial to you in your hiring decision.
