Benefits of Employment Background Screening
Hiring employees is an expensive part of running a business. Employers who implement
a fair and consistent employment screening background check policy are likely to save
themselves thousands of dollars each year by avoiding hiring mistakes. Keep in mind,
most background checks return very clean results. When this happens, employers can enjoy
peace of mind, knowing their hires have no criminal records.
Any hiring, promotion or termination decision is regulated by the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act) regulates employment
background screening processes with regard to using criminal background information to
render a no-hire decision.
To ensure your organization and its policies are in compliance with these governmental
entities it is recommended businesses consult with a human resources professional or some
other professional advisor familiar with employment background screening regulations.
Developing a regulation-compliant employment background screening policy enables an
organization to fairly and consistently apply standards to all job applicants. In doing
this, employers protect themselves from the potential risk of non-compliance.

Employment Background Screening Considerations
The EEOC has developed four guidelines for employers to follow when evaluating an
applicant via an employment screening background check. As listed below, these four
elements must be taken into consideration before any negative action is taken. Please
note that these introductory tips offered by PublicInfoGuide.com are not meant to be
interpreted as formal legal advice:
- Consider whether your candidate is likely to have committed the alleged crime:
In the case of an arrest, this is a difficult assignment for any prospective employer.
A candidate needs to be allowed the opportunity to explain the circumstances surrounding
their arrest. Judgement needs to be based on a reasonable effort on the part of the
employer to determine if the candidate has given a credible explanation.
- Consider the severity of the alleged offense:
Many misdemeanor crimes are as severe and can even be more severe than felonies.
Applicants whose employment screening background check has returned evidence of a crime must
be carefully reviewed. At this stage, it is advised employers enlist the help of a
well-qualified human resource professional.
- Take into consideration how much time has passed since the conviction occurred:
The goal of a court-imposed conviction is to punish the offender. Once the punishment has been
served, the convicted person has presumably "paid" for their crime. It is possible no further
punishment (such as being disregarded for employment) is justifiable.
- Consider how the offenses relate to the nature of the job:
For example: a drunk driving offense would be of great concern if the position applied for is
that of truck driver.
