How often should employees and volunteers be screened? [back to ScreenNow]

ChoicePoint® Response

Our standard recommendation is once a year. A more thorough background check usually is conducted initially and certain "checkups" may be made once a year, depending on the job or occupation.

For example:
--An employee or volunteer with access to your vehicle might need a yearly motor vehicle check.

--An employee or volunteer with fiduciary (handling money) responsibilities or access to sensitive information might need a yearly credit check.

--An employee or volunteer working with children might need a yearly criminal background check. The national criminal check is recommended, which contains sexual offender records from multiple states.
