DISCLOSURE REGARDING BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION
Joe’s Towing (“the Company”) may obtain information about you from a third party consumer reporting agency for employment purposes. Thus, you may be the subject of a “consumer report” which may include information about your character, general reputation, personal characteristics, and/or mode of living. These reports may contain information regarding your criminal history, social security verification, motor vehicle records (“driving records”), education or employment history, or other background checks.
The investigations will be conducted by Sterling Infosystems Inc. 6150 Oak Tree Boulevard, Suite 490, Independence, OH 44131. 1.866.338.6739 www.sterlingcheck.com.
The background report may contain information concerning your character, general reputation, personal characteristics, mode of living, and credit standing. The types of information that may be obtained include, but are not limited to: social security number verifications; address history; credit reports and history; criminal records and history; public court records; driving records; accident history; worker’s compensation claims; bankruptcy filings; educational history verifications (e.g., dates of attendance, degrees obtained); employment history verifications (e.g., dates of employment, salary information, reasons for termination, etc.); personal and professional references checks; professional licensing and certification checks; drug/alcohol testing results, and drug/alcohol history in violation of law and/or company policy; and other information bearing on your character, general reputation, personal characteristics, mode of living and credit standing. This information may be obtained from private and public record sources, including, as appropriate: government agencies and courthouses; educational institutions; former employers; and, for investigative consumer reports, personal interviews with sources such as neighbors, friends, former employers and associates; and other information sources. If the Company should obtain information bearing on your credit worthiness, credit standing or credit capacity for reasons other than as required by law, then the Company will use such credit information to evaluate whether you would present an unacceptable risk of theft or other dishonest behavior in the job for which you are being evaluated.
You may request more information about the nature and scope of an investigative consumer report, if any, by contacting the Company. A summary of your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, as well as certain state-specific notices, are also being provided to you.
