Re: [BDSM-LegalIssues] Re: New book -- good but disturbing
Jay-
Every person who comes to work for the company I do (I'm the corporate controller where I work) signs a form
that allows us to do a background check which include a credit, criminal, prior employment etc. checks.
In my experience- these forms are pretty standard for almost all businesses.
My real world work position includes protecting the corporation I work for, and for liability reasons as well as many other reasons
we do not hire people who have criminal histories. There is of course latitiude-- no one is going to lose out on a position because
he's had an arrest 20 years ago when he was in college for some minor misdemeanor.
employee who doesn't have a criminal history and one who does, I'll hire the one without every time. There are simply too many
potential problems liability wise to knowingly hire someone with a record that puts either the company's employees or assets at
risk. And yes, we've fired employees for being arrested (but not yet convicted) for violent felonies.
I'm surprised you feel like my volunteer work with and for NCSF is relevant in this matter at all.
