The Past Tells the Story
Businesses in mid 80s - discouraged drug users
from applying at companies who conducted the
test.
Deploying pre-employment screening provides
the same impact as drug testing.

Signs of Theft & Fraud

employment based on credit history. If the position in question
does not have the opportunity for theft or fraud, employment
denial may be considered discriminatory.
CREDIT PROBLEMS CAN MATTER DEPENDING ON THE
POSITION APPLIED FOR
Credit reports and bankruptcy reports can be pulled determine presence of
financial strain
• May lead to theft or fraud

Reduction in Risk of Negligent Hiring
Litigation
Negligent hiring
The employer can be held
liable even if oblivious to
employee’s history if it is
determined that they should
have known.
An employer may be found
liable if the employee injures
a co-worker, customer, or
member of the general
public even if the employee
is not acting within the scope
of their job duties when the
injury occurs.

Consistency is Key

Are you hoping that because
they were good and clear on
their original screening check
that they will always remain
the same?
Statistics say
otherwise.

Why People Change
People change for a variety of reasons, and unfortunately some changes are
detrimental. There is never a “good reason” to do something illegal.
Common causes for changes in employees are:
Credit Problems
Elderly Parent Care
Drug Addiction
Marital Problems
Divorce
Little Supervision
Entitlement
DUI Conviction
Legal Debt
College Expenses
15. #PGCustomerSummit
Think About It…
Numerous reasons why people change. Many companies have
policies that require employees to report any activity to their
Human Resource department which can be interpreted as a risk
to the organization.
When was the last time you heard of, or saw people standing in
line outside of the Human Resource department’s door, waiting
to acknowledge their guilt?
The fact is - you
probably never will.
16. #PGCustomerSummit
Cognitive Dissonance
People are fearful of admitting mistakes. It’s human nature to deny, not to
mention embarrassing.
Cognitive Dissonance - one’s ability to rationalize their behavior as being
normal.
Thought process that ends up costing companies millions each year in
productivity, shrinkage, brand deterioration and turnover.

Lessons Learned
Braselton woman (Mercer) allegedly stealing over $21,000 from a local
nonprofit after being hired as the Treasurer of Ark of Jackson County
“(The chairman) told me that the board of directors did not complete a
proper background check on Mercer at the time she was hired because the
previous treasurer had recommended her for the job and told them Mercer
had previous experience from where she had kept records at the IRS,” a
Jackson County Sheriff’s Office deputy said in the incident report.
If a proper background check had been completed, the board may have
learned that Mercer was previously convicted by the federal government for
stealing $50,000 from the National Treasury Employees Union.
