SHOUT SHOUT... LET IT ALL OUT!!!!!
Did you know that many companies contract their work out to help make a bigger profit? Did you also know that many companies don’t run a thorough
background check on the contractors they work with?
With the minimal costs of running a background check, common sense would make you think that companies just wouldn’t want the liability or the worry that a contractor might hire employees that have a criminal record. Partnerships can be a viable relationship if they both hire competent employees that are crime free!
But, did you know that 90% of American companies neglect to run contractor screening and criminal checks on these partners. Sure some companies may run a background check on their workers but most of the companies never bother to actually check out the company owners themselves!
This means only one out of ten companies actually do their due diligence and run a proper background check. Contractors can be the root of growing a company, but if you don’t run a proper background screen on them they can also be the greatest risk factor your company will ever know. Companies need to understand that they cannot ignore that risk because it can carry a large monetary consequence and ruin their credibility in the industry they’ve worked so hard to develop.
Many contractors think that they know their employees. It’s used to be a “Good Old Boys Club” says Nathan Manos of “Manos’ Home Repair” I used to hire employees because they worked for someone I knew or they had a good resume. However, I can’t do that anymore if I want to grow my business. I have a reputation and have been in business for nearly 20 years. I recently ran background checks on all my employees and found that two of my guys had been in trouble. One in particular was still on probation. Although they didn’t hurt anyone, I still couldn’t take a chance that if they got depressed or upset that they might take it out on one of my customers. The risk, worry, and liability isn’t worth it, I had to let them go! Thank goodness I contacted Protection Plus Solutions. My employees are monitored every month and home owners can see their background check on line before they come to their house. It’s provided an overwhelming sense of credibility to my company and has increased my customer growth because of it. I couldn’t be more pleased.”

WHY??

Did you know that there is an overwhelming number of US court cases that have made companies accountable for not providing the proper background screening on their employees? A Superior Court case out of Alameda County, California, found a company negligent in not obtaining a background check on a man who had been recently paroled from prison with multiple robbery convictions, then brutally murdered a women in her home. The company was held liable and the jury awarded millions of dollars to the victims family.
ABC’s 20/20 says “The case showed that employers can be held responsible for the actions of their employees, and the importance of a proper background check should be a wake-up call to all employers.

Do you think it's necessary to run a background check on an already established employee?
The answer to this question is ABSOLUTELY!Many companies typically do a yearly background check, but what happens if an employee gets into trouble after they’ve been hired? You’d never know until the following year that there was an issue. This could cause serious consequences for your company and your valued customers.
Protection Plus Solutions provides an array of background screening products that are tailored for the home service industry, but we take it to a whole new level. Once an employee has passed Protection Plus Solutions background screening requirements, they’re provided with a unique ID badge or virtual bade. This ID badge can be viewed by you or your customers 24/7 by logging into our website and entering the serial number from their badge.
The ID badge will display your approved logo; provide the customer with a picture of the employee, their date of birth, the date of the most recent background check, the physical location where they work, plus the phone number of that location and your corporate office information.
We place each of employees on our CrimSPY watch program that monitors them monthly for any sort of criminal activity. If for any reason the employee has an issue or has been arrested, the ID badge is immediately pulled and we notify your office and/or corporate that this employee has an issue. We also place a FAILED symbol by their ID badge on our website.
CrimSPY also provides important information for employers. If they quit or are released for any reason from one location and apply for a position with any of your other locations, you are alerted that this is duplication. Even if no criminal activity has occurred, this will allow the opportunity for your own internal investigation as to any possible work performance issues or other issues of concern at previous locations. We also track your employee’s social security numbers so that someone else cannot use it to work for from one location to the next. This has been an issue for many companies in certain US regions.
You may already be using a background screening company for your employee hiring, but Protection Plus Solutions can assure you that once you see our products and what they can do for your customers and your business you will want to change. Protection Plus Solutions is here to make all your hiring needs SAFE and SECURE!

New Policies for a New Year
The New Near is a time for New Year’s resolutions, and 2011 is no different. So, along with losing weight, exercising daily, and being a better person in general, you should consider one more resolution: protecting your Company from legal difficulties.
An often overlooked task during this season is updating your files. Check all your contracts, employee new hire packets, and forms, as well as any literature you have to get ready for 2011. Make sure to research for local, state, or federal regulatory changes which may affect you. It’s easy to forget and you may not end up making any changes at all, but the effects of not complying with new regulations or updating the language in your contracts can be devastating.
As you look through these forms ask yourself if there is anything you can do better; that includes updating your policy on background checks. Whether you have never run a background check in your life, or you run them yearly for all employees, there are always things to consider. Perhaps you have begun using company vehicles and need to add Motor Vehicle checks to your background check authorization form. Maybe you are sending employees into people’s homes and want to let your customers know they can feel secure with your company- this might mean monthly monitoring, Photo ID Badging with online verification, or both.
Drug tests are an important element in the criminal background screening repertoire. Many companies elect not to purchase drug tests because of the higher costs associated with them as opposed to a national instant criminal check. However, now is the perfect time to reassess. Employees under the influence make poor choices and can reflect negatively on your company image. Can your company afford the costs in image, legal fees, and good reputation that you can lose if you have an employee who is using? If not, consider instant drug tests using urinalysis. These tests are fast, reliable, and less easily tampered with than non-urine based tests.
Protection Plus Solutions is here to assist you with all these issues. We can help you update your employee packet to include a customized release form if you do not already have one. We provide all the services mentioned here as well. Feel free to contact us to get personal assistance in setting up an account for your company on our website http://ProtectionPlusSolutions.com
Have a wonderful New Year!
