Illinois gets grant to fight unemployment fraud

October 8, 2012

Employee fraud While authorities may be trying to stamp down on unemployment fraud, businesses should be taking steps to prevent fraud within their companies. By implementing a thorough employment screening process, you can ensure all new hires are honest individuals with integrity, and you minimize your risk of employees acting fraudulently at a later date. Employment screening could pertain to verifying work history, checking education history, criminal record checks and preventing resume fraud. By running a background screen, you can make sure that the applicant was truthful in the claims they made in their resume or in interviews. How to get started To find out more about how to run a background screen on an individual or implementing a screening program at your company, get in touch with a pre-employment screening company. They can help you with which checks need to be performed and the processes involved. In addition, it’s important to remember not to simply run a pre-employment check once and then call it a day. Set up a process whereby these checks are run on current employees too, to ensure proper protection of the business. Get in touch with the MYB team to learn more.  ]]>
