Criminal Background Checks for New Employees After consultation with University insurance representatives upon the advice of our auditors, and effective immediately, the University is requiring criminal background checks of the finalist candidates for open administrative and clerical union budget-line positions (not student part-time employees) in the following administrative areas: Human Resources, Business & Finance, Business Office, Student Accounts, Financial Aid, Registrar, Security, Information Technology and Physical Resources. To screen more carefully prospective employees who will have control of or access to the University’s financial and physical assets, including finance and student records, any offer of employment you make must be contingent upon a satisfactory criminal background report. No prospective employee with such access or control may start work without this background clearance. The procedures are as follows:
At a minimum, for a local candidate, the University will be checking court records of Cook and two other metro-area counties in the background check process. The extent of the checking may be expanded due to the residential history of the candidate and other factors. A local background check normally takes 48 to 72 hours. Please anticipate the time needed to complete the background check in setting the candidate’s hire date. It is very important for you to send the information on your finalist to Human Resources, as soon as you make your decision, in order to minimize the delay. If you have any questions about the implementation of this new policy, please contact Toyia K. Stewart, Director of Employment at ext. 2137 or her assitant, Sabrina Elms at ext. 2306. |
