BACKGROUND CHECK FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Question 1: Can I work for the GRIC if I have a criminal record? What if I have a felony?

Answer: A criminal record or felony conviction does not automatically disqualify you from employment. However, certain positions, including those with contact or control over children, the elderly or disabled have specific requirements (statutory bars) which will prohibit employment.

Question 2: Do I have to disclose my criminal record when I apply for a position with GRIC?

Answer: Yes, the GRIC Employment Application specifically asks whether you have ever been arrested for, charged with, or convicted of a crime other than a minor traffic offense. Failure to disclose this information may disqualify you from consideration.

Question 3: Do I have to give permission for a background check?

Answer: Yes, Human Resources will obtain your consent for a background check by having you sign a waiver and release form.

Question 4: What kind of background check is conducted? How far back?

Answer: The background check may include local/state/federal criminal history checks, Tribal court records, employment and education verifications, reference checks, and additional items depending on the position and department. Background checks may cover the last 10 years or, for positions with contact or control over children, the elderly or disabled, the checks will cover your entire history.

Question 5: Who can see the results of my background check?

Answer: Criminal history and other protected information can only be disclosed on a need-to-know basis within Human Resources. Background check information is secured and restricted.

Question 6: What if the information on my background check is wrong?

Answer: Disputes regarding background check information may be submitted to the agency which provided the information. Human Resources staff will provide contact information if needed.
