In this edition of our monthly e-newsletter, we feature a blog on the top background screening companies in the industry. More importantly why employers choose them

Our legal alert covers E-Verify legislation for Georgia, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. Georgia: Private employers with between 11 and 99 employees must conduct E-verify on all new hires on or before July 2013 (Employers with more than 99 employees are already subjected to this new law). Employers with 10 or fewer employees are exempt. This is the last phase for employers to enroll and use E-verify pursuant to Georgia’s Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement act of 2011(HB87)

Finally, our tip of the month explains the importance of background screening policies. Before employers decide to conduct employment background checks on their new hires it would be prudent to first implement a Background Screening Policy. Like any company policy, its intent should be to explain why background checks will be conducted, who will be subjected to screening and most importantly, which “sensitive positions” require additional searches (such as credit history or sex offender searches).

Please forward our e-newsletter to friends and colleagues who may benefit from our published information.

Sincerely,
