Criminal History ReportCounty
criminal searches are recommended to protect against workplace violence
and employee theft. TC logiQ performs searches of current records
directly at local county Superior and Municipal courts. Criminal
searches are available nationwide as well as in the U.S. territories
and Canada. We recommend a search of all counties of residence and
any AKAs that are identified in an applicant's Social Security Trace.
Using TC logiQ's network of researchers, we access the most current
information available and report felony and misdemeanor convictions
based on applicable federal and state law. |

Safety 1stTC logiQ's A Safety 1st volunteer and non-profit Screening provides a compiled, comprehensive report that includes, in addition to the criminal data from The National Background DirectoryTM, information on the volunteer's previous residence addresses, whether a Social Security number has been issued, maiden and/or married names associated with the SSN, and whether the volunteer's SSN is currently being used by other individuals. TC logiQ uses one of the largest private-sector criminal history databases in the nation. It draws data from multiple criminal record sources in a total of 47 states and the District of Columbia. It includes criminal data from criminal courts, state criminal record repositories, probation, prison parole and release files, sex offender registries and other government agencies, as well as additional criminal history data proprietary to TC logiQ, Inc. The purpose of the Safety 1st volunteer and non-profit screening program is to aid volunteer and non-profit organizations and agencies in determining whether prospective volunteers have a pattern of criminal behavior that would make it unwise for them to be working with children or other vulnerable populations. |

Motor Vehicle History Report / Driving RecordsWhile some companies believe driving records should be used only if an applicant will be driving a company car, crimes are not isolated to where we live and work, and TC logiQ believes motor vehicle information exposes important character issues. By searching an applicant's driving record, we learn about suspended licenses, failures to appear in court and arrest warrants. In addition, drug and alcohol related driving offenses, such as driving under the influence and possession of drugs, may serve as a warning of potential substance abuse problems that can affect job performance. Please note that California Motor Vehicle History Reports may only be ordered within a package of searches unless you have a CA DMV requestor code. Contact TC logiQ for more information. |

Prior Employer TrackingIt is not unusual for applicants to conveniently forget to identify past employers where they were terminated for cause. Our free Prior Employer Tracking is a search of past TC logiQ inquiries to identify previous employers your applicants fail to disclose. We report prior search inquiries which, when compared to the subject's application, may indicate the need to research if the subject was in fact hired by the company. |

Employment Drug TestingMany companies are now beginning to require potential employees and current employees to pass a National Background Check and a drug test in an effort to reduce the risk of liability and ensure a safe work environment. TC logiQ offers Pre-employment and Employment Drug Testing for corporations and employers nationwide. TC logiQ and its partners perform urine or saliva tests for controlled substances, including Marijuana, Cocaine, Opiates, Methamphetamines, and Alcohol. Additional substance tests are available upon request. |

Social Security Trace / VerificationThe
Social Security Trace checks the validity of an applicant's Social
Security Number. If the number is valid, the trace will identify
the year and state in which the number was issued. The Social Security
Trace will alert you if the number has not been issued, if it was
used in a previously filed death claim, or if it was used with any
fraudulent activity. The trace also identifies AKA's that have been
used and provides up to three (3) past addresses, which help in
determining which counties we should search the applicant's criminal
record. Clients that use TC logiQ's web-based service receive a free
instantaneous
Search
of Federal district courts for convictions of crimes that occurred
on federal property and convictions of federal laws such as tax
evasion, mail and wire fraud, drug trafficking, immigration law
violations and postal offenses. Records provide a criminal history
from the date of disposition, parole or release from imprisonment. Search
of U.S. Federal districts for convictions of crimes that occurred
on federal property and convictions of federal laws such as tax
evasion, mail and wire fraud, drug trafficking, immigration law
violations and postal offenses. This nationwide search covers all
U.S. Federal districts excluding Alaska, Guam, Idaho, New Mexico
and Northern Marina Islands. Records provide a criminal history
from the date of disposition, parole or release from imprisonment. The
National Criminal Database Search is a comprehensive database search
that provides same day access to the largest criminal database available
with over 109 million offense records. It is a valuable information
resource that may discover convictions in counties not identified
in a Social Security Trace or Credit History Report if the subject
never lived in the county. Records from 34 states are indexed from
state correctional institutions, sexual offender and violent offender
lists, the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) and some state
and county court records.
Search
of the Office of Foreign Asset Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Department
of the Treasury, Bank of England Terrorist list and Canadian Office
of the Superintendent of Institutions list (OSFI). The list contains
names of foreign nationals (individuals and entities) that the U.S.
government currently has sanctions against; whose property may be
blocked; who is restricted from exporting by the U.S. Department
of Commerce; and whom no U.S. person may have dealings with. Individuals
on the list include known terrorists and international narcotics
traffickers. Search
of state and federal district prison records, which are updated
48 hours after inmates are paroled. The search reveals if the subject
has served time in prison for a felony conviction, providing their
release date, any current warrant information for parole violations,
and sometimes a picture I.D. This statewide search may be conducted
in addition to county criminal searches for greater due diligence
where a statewide information is not available from a state repository
or the
State
repositories provide statewide searches of criminal convictions;
however, TC logiQ cautions clients about state repositories because
few of them are accurate and up to date. Except where the repository
is updated daily, state repository searches should not replace county
criminal searches. They may, however, be used in conjunction with
county searches for a thorough investigation. Per
Megan's Law, sexual offenders must register when they move. There
are currently more than more than 386,000 registered sex offender
nationwide. Sexual offender registry searches are statewide searches
of registered sex offender databases. TC logiQ recommends this search
when companies have on-site childcare or other people at risk, and
we recommend having the applicant sign a separate release form. Search
of Federal district courts for civil cases involving alleged violations
of federal statutes or constitutional rights. Cases may be brought
by individuals, companies or governmental entities seeking monetary
damages, an injunction, and/or another remedy provided by law. Case
information will include will display the party name, case title,
the court in which the case is located, case number, filing date,
nature of suit and closing date. Search
of U.S. Federal districts for civil cases involving alleged violations
of federal statutes or constitutional rights. This nationwide search
covers all U.S. Federal districts excluding Alaska, Guam, Idaho,
New Mexico and Northern Marina Islands. Cases may be brought by
individuals, companies or governmental entities seeking monetary
damages, an injunction, and/or another remedy provided by law. Case
information will include will display the party name, case title,
the court in which the case is located, case number, filing date,
nature of suit and closing date. Search
by Plaintiff, Defendant, Attorney, or Case Number of Superior Court
filings of $25,000 or greater. TC logiQ can also search civil municipal
court records (cases under $25,000), but does not recommend the
search as civil records contain individuals' names only with no
other identifiers. TC logiQ
recommends Credit History reports for employees that can affect
the company financially. This necessarily includes all employees
in accounting functions, but may also include other employees that
may, for example, be entrusted with a corporate credit or purchasing
card. The credit history reports TC logiQ conducts are designed for
employment purposes, so they do not count as an inquiry on the individual's
report or reveal either date of birth or a credit score. The report
includes verification of the applicants' name, their current address
and two previous addresses, current phone number, current employer,
up to three previous employers, and any aliases associated with
the Social Security Number. The credit summary portion of the report
contains the complete file including public records (i.e., liens,
judgments, etc.), collection accounts, current or previous delinquent
accounts, types of credit, total indebtedness, and “profile” (i.e.,
account charged off, repossessed, etc.).
County
search that shows notices of default, county and state tax liens,
and unlawful detainers. The
United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of
Inspector General (OIG) excludes individuals listed in the Sanction
database from working in Medicare, Medicaid and other Federal health
care programs. TC logiQ searches the Cumulative Sanction Report and
Debarred Contractors List from the General Services Administration.
If requested, we can also search the National Practitioner Data
Bank. Check
with past employers to obtain information whether applicant 1) took
a drug test, 2) failed any drug test, or 3) refused any drug test.
Pursuant to 49 C.F.R., previous employers must provide information
on past employees' drug and alcohol tests within the two previous
years. Information will provide dates of confirmed positive tests
for drugs, confirmed alcohol test results of 0.04% or greater, and
refusal to take a controlled substance test within the past two
years. Worker's
compensation searches are highly recommended in manufacturing and
production environments or wherever physical activity such as lifting
is part of the job requirement. This information enables employers
to avoid placing employees in positions that may pose risk of re-injury
and identify habitual claim filers. Workers' Compensation History
is a statewide search available in most states, but must be conducted
post-offer. The search identifies workers compensation claims against
an applicant's past employers. The history will report the last
five (5) events and include case numbers, locations, case status,
dates of injury, body parts injured, type of injury, and all party
information including lien claimants. When applicants have filed
workers compensation claims against past employers, they often intentionally
leave them off their employment applications; you may use falsification
of an employment application as grounds for revoking a conditional
job offer or terminating a recent hire. Education
verification is recommended for managerial positions as well as
most business office functions. Statistics reveal that education
is one of the things that applicants falsify most often on employment
applications. TC logiQ generally verifies college degrees, unless
clients ask that we verify high school also or “highest degree”
earned. TC logiQ's Education Verification will report the applicant's
dates of attendance, graduation date and degree earned. Some educational
institutions will report GPA. Past
Employment Verification is recommended for all employees. It is
approximated that 40% of all resumes and employment applications
contain falsified information. TC logiQ's in-house Reference and Verification
Department offers two employment verifications. Our standard Employment
Verification reports the employer's name, applicant's title, dates
of employment, salary history (upon client's request), whether they
are eligible for rehire, and we ask for additional comments. We
also offers an Employment Verification “Plus” that adds questions
about the applicant's initiative, follow-through, growth potential,
organization skills, adaptability and work ethic. If an Employment
Verification Plus is ordered but a past employer will only provide
information requested in the Standard Verification, TC logiQ will
only charge the standard Employment Verification fee. Past
