Understanding the Hiring Process with Screening Requirements

The Process of Hiring with Screening Requirements

Screening Completion: When all components of the screening process are finished and an eligible screening is documented, the individual can work without any limitations. This signifies that the individual has met all necessary requirements to be considered safe for the role.

Provisional Hire Status: In cases where out-of-state records are being requested and clearance is pending, an individual can be provisionally hired for a 45-day period. During this time, the individual must be supervised by a trained staff member to ensure safety and compliance with regulations.

Awaiting Screening Results: If screening requests have been initiated but results have not been received yet, the applicant can still be hired for training and orientation purposes. However, until the screening results are obtained, the individual should not have direct contact with children.

It is important to follow these guidelines to ensure the safety and well-being of all individuals involved in the hiring process, especially when working with vulnerable populations such as children.
