ELCG's MODEL APPLICANT / EMPLOYEE 

BACKGROUND, MOTOR VEHICLE, CRIMINAL CONVICTION 

RECORD CHECK PROGRAM ^™

Most company policies preclude giving out information on former employees beyond basic employment information such as dates of employment and job position.  How can you obtain necessary information on applicants and help ensure that you don't hire a "problem" employee?  A good employee selection program should include a check on the applicant's background, driving record, and criminal record.  Failure to do so can expose a company to legal claims such as "negligent hiring", "negligent retention" and "failure to exercise reasonable care" in the hiring process.  Moreover, by not hiring a "problem" employee, your company preserves assets otherwise lost to high absenteeism, lower productivity, turnover and low employee morale.

ELCG offers a solution!

Your license fee includes the following:

• Complete Implementation Guide (approximately 20 pages) that can be downloaded and reproduced for all managers/supervisors responsible for the applicant screening and hiring process.

• Information on a basic understanding of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) obligations imposed on employers.  The Implementation Guide gives detailed, yet easy to understand procedures, which must be followed to comply with the FCRA.

  - Applicant Notice Regarding Background Information - "A Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act" issued by the FTC - Certification from Company to Consumer Reporting Agency - Initial Notice Letter to Applicant - Adverse Action Notice Letter to Applicant - Initial Notice Letter to Employee - Adverse Action Notice Letter to Employee

• ELCG's Model Employment Application™ form, which helps your company meet requirements of Title VII, immigration regulations under IRCA, disability regulations under the ADA, compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act's notification and disclosure procedures, and also preserve the employment-at-will relationship.

Your company can easily customize ELCG's Model Employment Application™ form for its use.  This model application form will minimize your company's exposure to legal liability under the federal employment laws noted above.  Plus, the model application form solicits vital information about the applicant's background, employment history, skill level, job qualifications, education and training necessary to help you evaluate and select the best-qualified candidate for the position.
