We all that when it comes ot employment law there is nothing more important than staying current. Laws can change at any time and taking action in accordance with obsolete statutes can cause serious problems for your business. Seminars, such as the one offered here by Silver and Freedman, will keep you up to date on the changes in employment law.

But the main thing for any Human Resources deparpment is to run background checks on all your employment candidates. Perhaps, too, to remain current on the habits and practices of your existing employees you should also be running pre-employment screenings. Corra suggests you always run a Social Security Trace and Crimchecks, that is one or several of a range of criminal searches. The Social Security Trace will not only verify the leigitimacy of the number and the fact it belongs to that canddiate, it will help your avoid growing legal pressures against hiring undcoumented workers.

So stay updated, and run pre-employment screening on every candidate.

Remember, Corra says–Check them out before you hire.
