Attachment 8
BACKGROUND SCREENING:
Criminal history background screening checks shall be performed on each individual prior to their being allowed to work on COMPANY’s account, and on a semi-annual basis thereafter. At each such time, the individual shall be provided a pre-adverse action disclosure notice that includes a copy of the individual’s consumer report and a copy of “A Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act” and should be given ten business days to take action to correct any inaccurate information. Background screening applies to any and all Schedules A, in the aggregate, attached to the Agreement.
Consistent with the requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act, after an adverse action is taken based on information from a criminal background check done by a third party, the individual should be provided with (i) an adverse action notice including contact information for any third party reporting agency involved, (ii) a statement that that CONTRACTOR and not the reporting agency made the adverse decision, and (iii) notice of the right to dispute the accuracy of completeness of the information in the report.
Criminal history background checks should include a lifetime country-wide search of public records for federal, state, and county/local misdemeanor and felony convictions, deferred adjudications and probation. Background checks must be conducted by a COMPANY approved third party reporting agency (see attachment for list of approved vendors). Individuals must not be allowed to work on COMPANY’s account if information is reported to CONTRACTOR through the background check process indicating that the individual has failed to disclose or misrepresented information requested at any time about their criminal background history.
Initial background checks will be paid for by CONTRACTOR without reimbursement from COMPANY. Subsequent background checks will be paid for by the COMPANY.
Timing and Number of Background Checks
Three (3) background checks shall be performed before an individual is allowed to work on COMPANY account — national criminal check, state criminal check, and check of Sex Offender Registry. A Social Security Number trace with a validation must be included (trace reveals past and present addresses associated with issuance).
|
|
оSame three (3) background checks shall be repeated every six (6) months on all then current individuals working on COMPANY’s account
|
Background Check Results Criteria
Any felony constituting a violent crime, crime against a person, sexual offense or fraud, regardless of when it occurs, disqualifies an individual. Any other felony committed within the past ten (10) years, or incarceration for a felony within the past ten (10) years, disqualifies an individual. In other words, for these felonies there must be а 10-year lapse in time from the later of (i) the conviction or (ii) the end of any period of incarceration.
The only misdemeanors permitted are the following:
|
|
•
|
Traffic tickets
|
|
|
•
|
No more than one (1) DUI conviction and it must have occurred at least two years prior to the date of the background check
|
|
|
•
|
No more than one (1) theft by check under $100 in the last 48 months
|
|
|
•
|
No drug related convictions of any kind in the last 48 months
|
For purposes of both felonies and misdemeanors, deferred adjudication or probation will be considered a conviction.
Compensation Reduction
***
***
Note that each individual who is working, or has worked, on COMPANY’s account and is found lacking the proper background check documentation will constitute a separate occurrence.
Files Audit
At any time, COMPANY may randomly review the files of the individuals working, or who have worked, on COMPANY’s account to ensure they include complete background check documentation. If any required information is missing, the individual shall not be allowed to work on COMPANY’s account until all documentation is completed by CONTRACTOR, and CONTRACTOR will be subject to compensation reduction as provided in the section above entitled “Compensation Reduction.” If an individual’s file is not corrected or is not able to be corrected, that individual shall not be allowed to work on COMPANY’s account in any manner.

All such analysis results will be reported as negative.
Should the initial test indicate the potential presence of one or more of the above referenced substances, at or above the initial screen cutoff level or tampering of the specimen, a confirmatory test will be performed. Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) will be used to confirm the presence of substances in all specimens. Unless there is a legitimate medical explanation for the positive drug test result, then it shall be considered negative.
