Background Checks for Youth Workers

noreply@blogger.com (InfoCheckUSA.com) — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 17:08:00 +0000

Volunteer youth workers are an important part of our childrens lives but do you really know who your leaving your child with? Background screenings should be done on every youth worker - 60% of convicted sex offenders are on parole or probation. The Bureau of Justice statistics study in the 90's found that Among child molesters released from prison in 1994, 60% had been in prison for molesting a child 13 years old or younger.

Parents, do you really know your kids soccer coach, dance coach or teacher? I will ask the same question to the organizations; do you really know who you’re hiring? Its everyone’s’ responsibility to make sure the children are in a safe learning environment. Youth sports are on the rise which means even more children are being dropped off with their coaches and instructors; thereby, creating situations for potential sexual offenders, abductors and abusers. This topic is nothing new; just look back at the news stories – some of which have occurred in the past few weeks. Google - coach + sexual offender and you will get over 1 million links; Google teacher + sexual offender and you will get over 2 million links. Back in Sept, a New York teacher was found to have had a manslaughter conviction dated back to the 1970’s for killing a child and this teacher had been teaching middle school for the past two years. Parents, you need to ask your youth organizations if they perform background checks. Organizations need to be performing background checks; if they have to raise their fees to cover the costs then I’m sure the parents will not mind.

InfoCheckUSA.com will perform a 50 state Criminal and Sexual Offender background check. A background check performed only in the state that the person is coaching or instructing in is not sufficient. Many offenders will move to different states in the hopes that a comprehensive national background check will not be performed and the sad part is that they are right. We recommend that all of our clients whether youth organizations or not run a national check. InfoCheckUSA recommends the National Criminal Super Search and a county “hands-on” court level search plus a SSN Verification with address history.

Tenant Screening Services

noreply@blogger.com (InfoCheckUSA.com) — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 14:57:00 +0000

Due to the increasing need for Landlords to protect their properties, InfoCheckUSA has launched a new suite of Tenant Screening products. Tenants will lie on their rental applications therefore property owners should screen every renter.

Without rental credit history, current tenant screening and credit reports used by landlords who rent out apartments, homes or rooms still resulted in the loss of billions of dollars each year from renters who skip, are evicted, cause damage or simply do not pay their rent. According to industry studies and apartment executives, each incident costs the owner or manager over $4,000.

Why Screen New Tenants?

Reduce monetary and other risks associated with bad tenants.
Lower long-term costs.
Reduce risk of lawsuits due to negligence.
Increase profits due to higher occupancy rates.

InfoCheckUSA Tenant Screening products range from $19.95 to $49.95.

Our packages include:

Criminal Records Check
Sex Offender Check
Civil Judgments
Tenant Credit History
National Evictions Search

I-9 Immigration Employment Verifications

noreply@blogger.com (InfoCheckUSA.com) — Mon, 28 Jul 2008 16:04:00 +0000

InfoCheckUSA.com Provides Instant I9 Right to Work Verifications for Employers

All U.S. employers are responsible for completion and retention of Form I-9 for each individual they hire for employment in the United States. This includes citizens and noncitizens. On the form, the employer must verify the employment eligibility and identity documents presented by the employee and record the document information on the Form I-9. The InfoCheckUSA verification system automates this process for employers and stores the I9 forms electronically making the process simple and easy to use.

Employers will be fined for hiring illegal immigrants. Under the Federal Government plan the minimum penalty for willingly hiring an unauthorized worker will be $375. The maximum penalty is $3,200, and the maximum for multiple violations is $16,000.

What impact does this have on the law-abiding employer? Verifying your employees' legal status is clearly necessary. However, the time, energy, and paperwork involved in verifying your new employee's I-9 (Immigration Status) forms can be overwhelming. InfoCheckUSA.com, is an authorized designated agent by Homeland Security, offers an Immigration Status solution that will economically streamline the verification process and get your new employees into your workplace all the faster. Their system is directly integrated with DHS and is very easy to use thereby making your I9 verifications a breeze.

The fee for i9 verifications are $6.95 per employee with volume discounts available. The InfoCheckUSA system will give employers instant verification plus it will store all i9 forms electronically to make sure employers are compliant.

InfoCheckUSA.com Has Been Chosen as the Background Screening Provider for the Florida Masons Organization.

noreply@blogger.com (InfoCheckUSA.com) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 18:52:00 +0000

Freemasonry is the oldest, largest Fraternity in the world. Its members have included Kings, Presidents, Prime Ministers, Statesmen, Generals, Admirals, Supreme Court Chief Justices, corporate CEOs, opera stars, movie stars, and probably, your next door neighbor. The Masons Organization values safety and therefore passed the motion with a majority vote to require background checks on all new members.

InfoCheckUSA.com is a worldwide leading provider of background checks and pre-employment screening services and is excited to have been awarded the contract for such a reputable organization as the Florida Masons. InfoCheckUSA will provide screenings for all 352+ lodges located throughout the state of Florida. Each lodge will login to a secure 24/7 system to process their automated screenings. The InfoCheckUSA system will allow the Masons to make quick decisions on potential new members.

"This is an extremely important step for the organization since they are involved in community work throughout the state of Florida" says Chris Dugger, Account Rep for InfoCheckUSA.com. " This just shows that they place a value on their members as well as the communities that they work in".

Background screening is such an important tool that sometimes gets overlooked but in todays society it is a must. For less than $20 an organization can protect not only themselves but the community.

Do You Know Your Doctor?

noreply@blogger.com (InfoCheckUSA.com) — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 15:27:00 +0000

Why would anyone not check out their doctor? Are we too trusting these days to believe people are who they say they are? You or your child is going under the knife for major surgery, wouldn't you like to know that the Doctor is properly licensed and authorized to practice medicine and perform surgery? - I would!. For less than thirty dollars, a person can get a Physician Snapshot Background Check and Medical Fraud Report. The news has reported many instances of unlicensed doctors practicing medicine and even death has occurred from it. America will check out a Plumber more thoroughly than they will a Medical Professional. The psychiatrist that sees your teenage daughter twice a week for an hour behind closed doors could have a criminal or sex offender past and no one would know it. When in doubt check'em out!. Are you scared yet?. I hope so because that was the idea. You or your familys life may depend on it. What about the nursing home that you just paid thousands of dollars to put a family member in? Does the facility have a past problem of abuse, neglect or even death?. A background medical screening check of the facility would find those problems.

We now find that Dr. Robert Jarvik was found not to have the credentials advertised. The New York Times reported that the ads misrepresented Dr. Jarvik and his credentials. Although he has a medical degree, Dr. Jarvik is not a cardiologist and is not licensed to practice medicine. Under criticism that its ads are misleading, Pfizer said Monday it would cancel a long-running advertising campaign using the artificial heart pioneer Dr. Robert Jarvik as a spokesman for its cholesterol drug Lipitor.

Pfizer is a billion dollar company and has spent more than $258 million on the Lipitor ads and did so without checking Jarviks' credentials. Why would they put themselves at risk? Who knows. But now the product will most likely lose credibility and I would expect the sales to even go down. But that is just my personal opinion on the outcome of this new found information.

You can run our Physician Snapshot profile report for $9.95 and our professional license verification report is only $14.95 - what is your peace of mind worth?.

InfoCheckUSA.com is here to help protect you.

Do You Really Know Who You Are Hiring?

noreply@blogger.com (InfoCheckUSA.com) — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 14:40:00 +0000

Why would any employer hire someone these days without doing a complete background check? I'll tell you why - they are either too cheap to pay for it or they don't want to take 10 minutes out of their day to do it!. Yet, these are the same employers that act suprised when they find out the employee, youth worker, pastor, doctor, etc...stole from them, molested one of their kids, sexually harassed an associate or killed someone. With 89% of people lying on their resumes, it makes good business sense to do a criminal background check, employment verification and an education verification.

We have seen high profile coaches and CEO's caught years later for lying about their education. Every other week, we see the news breaking a story where a service business such as carpet cleaners, alarm installers, or plumbers went into a victims home and stole from them or sexually harrassed them. Just recently a Pastor in Jacksonville Florida was caught for sending explicit sexual text messages to girls under the age of 16 and he had behavior issues from a prior church in Texas. We also find out that a YMCA counselor was charged with touching young girls under the age of 9. I ask again, "Do You Know Who Your Hiring?"

For less than thirty dollars per employee, an employer can protect their time and investment. You can't put a price on peace of mind in these tough economic times. Business is hard enough without having to worry about rogue or bad employees and business partners. I challenge employers to spend a little bit of time and money to not only protect themselves but society as well.

Ben Franklin stated "An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest"

MIT dean resigns in lying scandal

POSTED: 5:56 p.m. EDT, April 29, 2007

Story Highlights

• Jones admits misrepresenting academic degrees when applying to MIT in 1979
• Jones did not receive degrees at three schools as claimed, MIT found
• Jones is a recipient of MIT's highest award for administrators

From Zak Sos and Richard Davis
CNN

(CNN) -- The dean of admissions at one of America's most prestigious schools resigned on Thursday after the university discovered she had lied about her academic credentials.

Marilee Jones, who joined the staff of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1979 to lead the recruitment of women at the university, stepped down from her post after admitting that she had "misrepresented her academic degrees to the institute," according to a statement posted on MIT's Web site.

"I misrepresented my academic degrees when I first applied to MIT 28 years ago and did not have the courage to correct my resume when I applied for my current job or at any time since," Jones said in a posting on the school's Web site.

"I am deeply sorry for this and for disappointing so many in the MIT community and beyond who supported me, believed in me, and who have given me extraordinary opportunities."

Patti Richards, spokeswoman for MIT, said the school had received information about Jones' credentials and investigated them. "At various times she claimed to have received degrees from Albany Medical College, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and Union College and we confirmed that she had not graduated from any of these schools."

"This is a sad and unfortunate event," said Daniel E. Hastings, dean for undergraduate education at the Cambridge school, in a Web posting. "But the integrity of the institute is our highest priority, and we cannot tolerate this kind of behavior."

Jones was named dean of admissions at MIT in 1997 and received MIT's highest award for administrators, the "MIT Excellence Award for Leading Change." She was also the 2006 winner of the "Gordon Y Billard Award" given "for special service of outstanding merit" performed for the school.

Stuart Schmill, MIT's senior associate director of admissions, has been named the interim director of admissions.
