ASSOCIATIONS
The association landscape is evolving, and in order to keep dues at an affordable price, non-dues revenue initiatives for associations have become a huge demand. Associations are vital, unique, and exciting organizations that do so much good in both their industries and the world, but they often need good partners to help them maximize their engagement with members and create non-dues revenue opportunities. The one thing that unites all associations is their need to recruit new members and keep existing members.
LaborChex has worked with many Local, State, and National Associations identifying and helping implement “best practice” initiatives that include Employment Screening and Drug Testing Services.

CONSTRUCTION
The uncertain economy poses many challenges for the construction industry. As demand for new projects fluctuates, interest rates, material pricing, and insurance costs continue to rise. Contractors face obstacles in keeping up with changing technologies and industry regulations and hiring safe and reliable workers in a highly competitive marketplace. In addition to wanting a safe work environment, contractors want to minimize the risk of theft and fraudulent Worker’s Comp, and they can investigate these important factors with background screening for relevant histories.
Regulatory:
Let LaborChex help you to comply with regulatory requirements set forth by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
Site Security:
Expensive Equipment, personal property, and proprietary information are all valuable assets at a job site or manufacturing facility. Find out if your applicant has a recent history of theft convictions before you place them on a job site or in a position with access to valuable assets.
When you’re hiring people for construction projects, you need the full story on a person’s background. You need to know that the people you put to work today do not put your company at risk tomorrow. LaborChex allows contractors large and small to streamline both employment screening and drug testing services into one platform. This technology allows them easy, seamless, and fast ordering capabilities.
*IMPORTANT NOTE FOR CONTRACTORS OPERATING MULTIPLE SITES: LaborChex technology easily accommodates contractors who operate multiple sites/locations. Contractors have a variety of options to choose from regarding the placement of orders, access to results, and billing.

FAITH-BASED ORGANIZATIONS
LaborChex is committed to helping faith-based organizations maintain a safe environment so they can focus on fulfilling their mission. Background checks for churches, synagogues, mosques, missions, and faith-based service organizations and auxiliary services are a must to ensure the safety of parishioners and other community members – especially if volunteers will be doing direct outreach.
LaborChex’s software makes it simple to obtain and manage secure church background checks. LaborChex has automated the submission process and stores the results on each organization’s profile, providing secure and easy access. We understand the complexity and sensitivity of your mission and your work and we’ve designed our screening services to be completely private and compliant with all state and federal privacy regulations.
Volunteers & Daycare Workers:
Citizen volunteers make up the backbone of many faith-driven organizations and their service programs. If you are to check the background of anyone, it should be volunteers and daycare workers. They are often responsible for the most precious item in your church: a child. These persons should have clear criminal records and valid driving records, since there will be times when they might drive church or personal vehicles with children aboard. This is why we offer our special Volunteer Chex screening option, a reliable, cost-efficient screening solution for volunteers.
Administrative Workers:
This category includes teachers, secretaries, accounts receivable/payable workers, etc. In addition to knowing intimate personal details about members of the congregation (such as addresses and social security/checking account numbers), these workers are often entrusted with the handling of church funds including credit cards, investment accounts, and more. In addition to checking criminal records and driving records, when appropriate, previous employment and education should be verified. Employment credit reports should be obtained for applicants who will handle money or funds.
Support Workers:
From janitors and kitchen workers to bus drivers and maintenance personnel, this category of workers requires careful screening. In addition to working with church property, these workers also have direct contact with children, and even know when a parishioner’s car is unattended. Criminal records and driving records should be checked, and a drug screening might be a good idea as well.

FINANCIAL INDUSTRY
Laborchex has a long history of serving the financial industry. Financial service businesses require specific types of screens, for bankers, tellers, mortgage lenders, accountants and more. Financial service businesses deal with incredibly sensitive information which could, if misplaced or stolen lead to fraud or identity theft. The very nature of the industry and corresponding access to sensitive data demands stringent and thorough screening to ensure the safety of clients and employees.
Identity Check:
In the finance industry, it’s absolutely crucial to verify the identity of your employees before you hire them. You just can’t risk the exposure to fraud, money laundering and embezzlement. The first step is to screen all employees with our consent based social security number identity check.
Criminal Searches:
One of the first concerns financial institutions have is whether or not an employee has a criminal history. Most regulatory bodies have rules governing hiring employees with specific type of criminal convictions. The FDIC has a very detailed list of unacceptable criminal activity. Regardless of whether you need FBI finger printing checks or county, state and federal criminal records history, Laborchex has the capability to develop a protocol to satisfy your requirements.
Pre-Employment Credit History:
Pre-employment credit history checks are another record set you may utilize when assessing and evaluating potential employees. In the finance industry, it’s generally accepted that there’s a correlation between responsible management of one’s personal finances and that of the firm or client.
Federal Bankruptcy Search:
Laborchex conducts a direct search of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court system to determine if a commercial entity or individual has sought protection under federal bankruptcy laws. Our federal bankruptcy search gives you the data to help you spot candidates with prior bankruptcies.
Employment Verification:
An employment check involves direct communication with a candidate’s previous employers and clarifies and confirms the content of an applicant’s resume and application. This is important in ensuring a candidate’s experience is authentic. When dealing with institutional assets and client’s funds, it is imperative your team members are qualified and capable.
Education Verification:
An educational background verification reveals the highest degree obtained by your applicants, graduation dates, institution name and major courses of study. If you’re hiring an analyst, broker, agent or manager, you want to ensure that they have the specialized knowledge necessary to be successful in their position.
Professional License Verification:
The verification of an applicant’s professional license confirms the license type obtained, as well as its dates of issuance and expiration. A license status search reveals any conditions and restrictions that have been imposed on the license, as well as any pertinent disciplinary measures that have been taken against the applicant throughout their previous professional experience.
