Federal Civil Records

Civil record searches isolate applicants with a history of suing or being sued by their employers, a commonplace and costly occurrence in many industries. As part of the employment screening process, a civil record search reduces an employer's risk of costly lawsuits. In addition, civil records uncover liens and cases involving violations of trade secrets and non-compete agreements. Civil records are available nationally on the federal level or on the state level by county.

Castle Branch

Margaret ran a non-profit girls and boys club. She performed a statewide criminal record investigation on all employees and thought she was safe when she hired Lee as a janitor. Months later, she received an anonymous letter notifying her that Lee had been convicted of child molestation. The letter included a copy of Lee's record from another state's sexual offender index. Margaret had missed the criminal conviction since it occurred in a state where Lee had previously lived and where a statewide search was unavailable. Lee had worked in the girls and boys club for the past six months and had numerous opportunities to be alone with the children. Margaret owed it to the children and her staff to terminate Lee's employment and to add sexual offender index searches to her employment screening program.
