Say, what??? You didn't Run a Background Check, are you that foolish??

Did you know that Fortune 500 companies still don't get the fact that background screening is critical for the protection of the home owner they service? If you think that you can put an employee out in the field without running a proper background check read this....  

Domino's, which settled a lawsuit with a Nebraska woman who was raped by David Taitte, one of its deliverymen, notes that it delivers over 7 million pizzas a week and this was the first incident of its kind.

The company canceled the contract with the local franchise because it failed to check Taitte's driving record, but it does not require its franchise owners to do criminal background checks. Company officials say the procedure would be too expensive and complicated.

Taitte is serving 25-30 years in a Nebraska prison for the rape. At the time he applied for his job at Domino's, he had already been in jail 16 times, including once for sexual assault. He says he knew Domino's would not hire him if he admitted to his convictions. So he left the box blank on the application where it asked if he was a felon.

Taitte argues that denying ex-cons jobs keeps them from rehabilitating themselves. "They already served their time and they're just looking to try to get a new job — start a new life."

But Oakland County prosecutor Jim Anderson, whose office handled both the Ferminick and the Spooner-Dean murders, calls the issue a "no-brainer." Consultant Barry Shamis, like Anderson, believes that people are put at risk when companies fail to do background checks on workers who provide in-home services. "If you don't do criminal background checks, you're making a huge mistake."

Claudia Bernard, owner of Protection Plus Solutions  says "We get asked all the time about how a company can save money by running the bear minimum on a background check. We simply tell them, we don't operate that way. Protection Plus Solutions is here to protect the home owner and your business. If you can't afford to run a background check on your employees or 1099 contractors, you shouldn't be in business." Bernard says.that her background screening company monitors sales reps every month, not annually like other background screening companies. She said that her companies ID badging system allows home owners, business owners, and law enforcement the ability to view and verify information about an employee by logging into their website 24/7. Bernard says, " what happens if an employee gets into trouble after they've been hired and have been working for awhile, if an annual background check is performed you'd never know until the following year. Our monthly monitoring system checks for criminal convictions every month. If there is a "hit:" after hire, we pull the ID badge immediately and place Failed on our website. We're all about safety and security when hiring."
