Are You Checking for Sexual Offenders?

Corra knows that nothing can be more off putting for any workplace than to have someone working there who is onthe sexual offenders registry. Now we can argue both side of this issue until the cows come home, but at the end of the day, no matter what else is said mot people are creeped out by sexual deviants. This is especially the case when the offender has violated children.

That is why it is so important to include the sexual offenders’ registry search as part of your preemployment screening program. Hiring a sexual offender may do good for a certain part of your charitable spirit, but it most likely will initiate a loss of morale in your workforce. You will find disgruntled employees who will either leave or threaten to leave. Those with children are the most likely to voice their discontent.

Corra includes the sexual offenders’ registry with its nationwide criminal background search. Upon request, it will also provide the OFAC or Global Terror report for a couple of dollars more. It is cost effective and may avoid many problems that can result in litigation or employee turnover.

So check them out before you hire.
