State Furloughs Cause Delay in Country Criminal Background Checks

County Criminal Records are on of the more important background checks for any preemployment screening program.  The County Criminal background checks are the most exact as they are pulled from the county courts.   Not only will the county criminal records show criminal records that have disposition, they will also reveal pending cases where the outcome of the charges is still undecided.   This, of course, is handy when considering an employment candidate as as an employer you don’t want to hire someone for a job and then discover he will soon be convicted of offenses that would typically cause his rejection.

Of course with this poor economy, the states are struggling with budgetary considerations, as are the counties and cities.   Some states have mandated furloughs, which force the closing of everything from the Department of Motor Vehicles to the County Courts and other public agencies.

We would like to take this opportunity to notify you in advance of the following

California and Vermont Court closures.  As a cost savings measure, the courts

have pre-established dates of furlough and are listed below.  Should we

encounter additional notifications, we will send additional memorandums.
