The majority of employers across the United States are NOT required to drug test, and many state and local governments have statutes that limit or prohibit substance abuse testing in the workplace.

Your contract with a payroll company specifically states that it is not liable for your payroll. Additionally, the law imposes liability on you, not the payroll company. For example, if you do not have certain information on your payroll stub, you can be assessed thousands of dollars in liability.

You could create liability by conducting your own background check. The law requires you to disclose public information to applicants. Moreover, you may not use certain information that you find. You could be sued if you make a decision based on that information.
Did You Know:
The law requires employers to provide certain notices, but no handbook is required. Nevertheless, handbooks are very important to train supervisors and employees on company practices. Handbook policies are also important in helping businesses avoid and limit legal liability.

Before you hire someone based on his or her impressive resume or shining interview, it’s important to do your homework. Unfortunately, studies show that most applicants often embellish their resumes or stretch the truth about their work and/or educational history. Background investigations are an essential tool in ensuring long-term stability among your staff. Sierra HR Partners can run comprehensive and compliant background checks on your prospective hires.
