The real question is…How many of you are
nervous because: Have employees that
have never been screened
Employees were screened with an inadequate screening program?
So How Long Are Background Checks Good For?
Background Checks are a historical document once they are completed.
Report complete today- applicant arrested tonight
What does this mean?
Background Screening is: Not a one and done An ongoing process A lot can change
Does this mean we should….
Run a background check every day?
Maybe in a perfect world
What do the courts say?Due Diligence:
“the attention & care made by a prudent or reasonable person to avoid harm to another person or their property.”
Negligent RetentionIf an employer becomes aware or
should have become aware of problems with an employee who demonstrated unfitness & employer takes no corrective action (investigating, reassignment, termination)
Recent Negligent Retention CaseDoe v. Roe School District
(CA) 2 4th grade boys molested by
teacher Had been complaints about
teacher by students, staff and parents
School took no action (even gave positive reference)
$6.8 million judgment
Ongoing Screening Program…. Demonstrates due
diligence Mitigates risk of
negligent retention Promotes a safe
workplace
Implementing Ongoing Screening No legal ruling for frequency 2000 clients and averages
from 2- 5 years Law enforcement agencies
usually rescreen every 5 years IN Expanded CH statute
allows to charge employee every 5 yrs
Case Study of SHS Client 578 employees Sept. 2011 implement
ongoing screening program
42.21% hit ratio 250 felonies 489 misdemeanors 22 employees terminated
Case StudySchool District Inadvertently ordered
background check on current employee
Had been 1 yr since pre-employment BGC
Pending felony theft Employee had not

How do we get started? Policy change Define frequency Start with employees:

Employed longest Screen percentage per
