You have a small restaurant and wants to hire a dishwasher / busboy. They fit an ad in the newspaper and different people, but you will find a nice guy, the perfect body and especially see that it is payable. Fast forward a few weeks: Everything is going well, until he attacks one of your waitresses after closing. You can then find out that not only has he never attended college, but he has never worked in a restaurant, has a long history of physical crimes, and is a known drug user.While it may seem unlikely at first glance, these scenarios occurs on a regular basis.
If the business you are in for a huge lawsuit. The false allegation rentals are presented to the waitress probably you out of business. This would have prevented you a basic condition of employment screening completed. Basic condition for employment screening to consult on the work includes a background check and testing of a drug criminal.
Work-Background Checks
Why work experience? Check Most people remember the case of the former Notre Dame coach George O'Leary. O'Leary was hired as coach of the Notre Dame coach after several successful years as head of Georgia Tech football. Reporters began to dig into his background and discovered that it has a Master's Degree with a lie. Notre Dame was forced to him within two weeks of hiring him to dismiss. A pre-employment background check would have caught this problem.
Employers must ensure that the person theythink they hire is who they say they are: that he worked, he said he worked when he said he worked there. That the degree and certifications, he said. These checks should be against the background of the person begins his new job to be done.
Drug Testing
Why does a drug test? Now, twenty-five percent is not 25% of all applicants for employment in the United States a simple five-panel urine drug test. That's right, 25%! The five-panel test looks forMarijuana, cocaine, amphetamine / methamphetamine, opiates, PCP and. There are seven-and nine-panel for most tests, the test for every drug known to man and there is also a hair test which drugs can no longer occur in the urine of a person to catch. If you are in an open, will lead drug testing prior to employment, a part of the population does not even apply for the job, and you save time.
There are candidates who use these drugs, but in the service of any number of tactics toMask or hide their drug use. That "Beat the test" techniques by most drug testing services are known and have had little success. It is imperative to ensure that the drug-testing company that is certified for a library location to use. Most employers are surprised that a drug user will go to a testing facility is expected, passport or fool the test. Another reason for the pre-employment drug test is that drug users have shown a higher risk of theft or causing a workDamage. Each of these would cost your company much more than the cost of an initial drug test. A drug test is usually administered and scored within 24 to 48 hours, it would not slow the process of recruiting a company that is desperate for help.
Criminal Checks
Finally there is the criminal check. The busboy example at the beginning of this article is a real situation. His attack would have prevented the waitress was a criminal background checkbe implemented. Listed in the criminal checks on its request to ask if the candidate the crimes of the past and the rule for the crimes will look like within the past five or seven years ago. Some companies have a policy of not hiring ex-offenders, but the candidates are for rent with offense convictions. The key to a policy in this area is the consistency.
If your company hires drivers, some offenses are important. A DUI case will be argued, of a crime. If your businessPolicy allows candidates with wrongdoing, you caught the end by his own rules. All three of these pre-screening tools to prevent an employer from hiring someone else to harm themselves or help your business. Make sure the right resources, if the implementation of this policy should be used instead.
