County Criminal Background checks are a vital component to just about any preemployment screening program. But as noted before, states are broke and some are forced to close the county courts at least once a month. Of course, when you are trying to hiring people and you need the return on these important background checks, delays can be annoying.

So here are some of the county court closings, coming up in the near future. Please make a note of these–
We would like to inform you of some changes within certain states and how these changes will affect your county level requests. Due to budget constraints in the Virginia Beach City courts a reduction in staff at the courthouse and shortened hours of operation have been imposed.

Also, Franklin County, Kentucky relocated their court house late last week; pending searches will have additional delays because of this. The state of Kansas will join Hawaii and California in the list of states experimenting with furlough days and because of this delays will occur on Kansas requests.
