Unfortunately, it falls on the victim to clear up the criminal record. Getting your name off of a national criminal database can be a daunting task. "If you think clearing up a credit history is tough, try clearing up a criminal history", says Dr. John Allan, President of The Integrity Center, a firm recognized nationally for employee background checking, online employee records, and company risk management.
With rampant identity theft, employers are not only at risk for hiring criminals or perhaps terrorists, but their personnel records must be secure so that the company does not become a party to an Identity Theft. Put that thought together with coming legislation in Congress that will eliminate using one's Social Security Number as an individual identifier, and you can imagine what chaos that will cause for most company's personnel record systems.
The Integrity Center abandoned Social Security Numbers as key individual identifiers in 1996, and now in addition to providing fully encrypted Background Checking, the firm offers secure online Job Applications, Interview Notes, and Employee Files nationwide.
The Integrity Center, Inc., www.integctr.com, founded in 1984, and based in Dallas, TX, is a leading supplier of objective risk management information for business, industry and government. The Integrity Center and its website are a rich source of current information regarding the laws, procedures, and pitfalls in all areas of background checking and personnel records.
