Summer is the time of vacations, workplace turnover and temporary positions. Tourism and hospitality industries see a lot of transient workers pass through its businesses, as temporary and part-time employees swell the ranks to fill holes in schedules and make up for the increased demand.
While all that shifting and adding to the workforce is just a part of life for many businesses, it shouldn’t come at the expense of keeping everyone safe and keeping your business free from liability risks. Some employers may be tempted to skirt the usual protocol of conducting pre-employment background checks, rationalizing that these workers will only be here a few months so why bother with the expense and hassle? But that’s a dangerous decision to make.
It’s a good idea to do a criminal background check on all job applicants who pass the initial interview and application process. Employment screening companies will work with employers to comply with federal and state laws and recommend the types of pre-employment screening necessary based upon the job’s requirements. Remember that some seasonal employees may become full-time staff, so it’s best to have all the background information available for all employees in order to make the most informed decision about someone’s future employment.
