WORKFORCE
— When Job Applicants Lie: Implementing Policies to Protect Your Company
Employers should implement a clear and uniform policy about the consequences of
lying or providing false information on an application. – Joshua Y. Joel,
Natasha L. Wilson (DIERSEN: Needless-to-say, everyone seeking or holding any
kind of government or political job or office should be subjected to a
comprehensive and extensive background investigation.) https://www.workforce.com/2019/06/01/when-job-applicants-lie-implementing-policies-to-protect-your-company/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A recent study revealed that 85 percent of employers have
caught applicants lying on their résumés or job applications. The most common
lies involve modifying dates of employment, falsifying credentials, training or
degrees, inflating prior earnings, or hiding a criminal history. Throughout the
past several years, there have been several stories of prominent executives and
CEOs, across many industries, whose careers were cut short for lying on their
job applications or résumés. What should human resources professionals do when
they discover that an employee has lied on their job application or résumé? How
can employers avoid liabilities stemming from application falsification? What
are the legal consequences for employers? Preemptive Measures The first step
employers should take to avoid potential pitfalls is to implement a clear and
uniform policy about the consequences of providing false information on an
application. For example, a brief disclaimer can be included near the signature
line of the employment application, in which the applicant affirms and agrees
that providing false, misleading, or incomplete information on an application,
in a résumé, or during the interview process is grounds for disqualification
from employment or termination if hired. The disclaimer should also expressly
waive any liability for the employer if the applicant is not hired or is
terminated for providing false information. More importantly, employers should
be consistent in enforcing this policy. Consistency can protect the employer
from legal liabilities — and countless headaches — down the road. To accomplish
this, employers should document every applicant’s receipt of the policy. If a
background investigation reveals that an applicant or employee clearly lied on
his or her application, the applicant should be rejected or the employee
terminated immediately. If the employer only suspects a falsification, HR
should engage in a fair and impartial investigation and document its findings.
Depending on the results, disciplinary action should be taken. When assessing
an applicant’s background, employers should focus on convictions and not arrest
records. Otherwise, applicants may be unfairly prejudiced in the hiring process
based on unsupported criminal allegations. Conducting Pre-Employment Background
Checks Recent federal and state laws have presented hiring professionals with
new compliance challenges when conducting a background screening. For example,
while there are no federal laws requiring home health agencies to conduct
criminal background checks or disqualify applicants from employment based on
the results, there are 41 states that require these agencies to conduct
criminal background checks. Those requirements in those 41 states vary widely,
including when the background check must be completed, what sources of
information must be checked, which positions require background checks, and
which convictions, if any, result in disqualification from employment. The
benefits of conducting criminal background checks in the hiring process often
outweigh these challenges, especially in fields — such as health care or
government contracting — where a failure to conduct screenings can result in
hefty consequences. While many employers may prefer to use social media to
research an applicant’s background, employers should exercise caution when
using an applicant’s protected characteristics (like race, religion, age or
gender) as a basis for refusing employment. Understanding the legal landscape as
it relates to information an employer may request of an applicant is also key.
For example, some states have laws that prohibit employers from requesting an
applicant’s social media username and password. Additionally, some states have
legislation referred to as “Ban the Box,” which prohibits employers from asking
about criminal history on a job application. Unforeseen Benefits of a
Consistent Policy In most cases, implementing a strong application
falsification policy can result in some unexpected positive benefits. For
example, many states have laws prohibiting employers from revoking job offers
based on the discovery of a misdemeanor or other types of conviction with no
relevance to the applicant’s suitability for the position. Nonetheless, even
though the employer cannot revoke the offer because of the conviction itself,
the employee’s misrepresentation about the existence of the conviction is
grounds for revocation. For example, in a Pennsylvania case, the plaintiff only
disclosed two convictions — stalking and harassment — on his application. But a
background investigation revealed that he had pleaded guilty to eight
additional crimes, including public drunkenness, disorderly conduct and drug
crimes. The company revoked his offer. The district court determined that the
company did not violate Pennsylvania’s criminal background check statute
because the termination was not for the employees’ conviction, but his lie
about it. Importantly, the district court relied heavily on the company’s
implementation and communication of a consistent policy forbidding applicants
from lying on their applications. In a similar vein, companies faced with
discriminatory failure to hire claims have successfully argued that the later
discovery of falsified job applications is a complete defense against the
claims. In other words, if the company would not have hired the employee had it
known of the applicant’s lie, the applicant cannot later claim that he or she
was not hired because of a protected characteristic. Here too, courts look
closely at the company’s fair, equitable and consistent enforcement of its
application falsification policy to establish that the company’s decision was
not motivated by discriminatory intent. Another benefit of maintaining a strong
background check policy is that it can absolve or limit the company of
liabilities down the road if the employee is terminated. Oftentimes, in the
course of litigation over wrongful termination or discrimination claims,
exhaustive background checks into the plaintiff reveal criminal histories
previously unknown. While an employer may still be on the hook for some damages
if the decision to terminate was indeed discriminatory, the Supreme Court has
held that a reward of back pay can be cut off completely — and the plaintiff’s
potential damages significantly limited — if the employee’s wrongdoing was so
severe that the company would have terminated the employee in any event if it
had been uncovered. As a result, employers can potentially limit their exposure
to liability in later wrongful termination claims by consistently enforcing a
no-tolerance policy for application falsification. While not every application
falsification results in a high-profile CEO or executive separation, the
problem is common across industries. HR professionals should take care to
review their company’s job application process with the help of legal counsel
to implement a fair and equitable policy that is compliant with state and
federal regulations and train interviewers and hiring professionals of what
they can and cannot ask. The fix can be quite easy, and the benefits are
great.)

MORNING: About 120 Wheaton residents attended a 2 1/2 hour Wheaton City Council

concerns about Wheaton’s East Roosevelt Road Corridor Market
Study/Comprehensive Plan Amendment. 13 of those 28 are registered voters in my

have on homeowners immediately south and north of Roosevelt Road, traffic
congestion, affordable housing, public housing, the proposed Starbucks at the
southeast corner of Roosevelt Road and Warrenville Road, flooding, the school
crossing at Warrenville Road and Park Avenue, protecting historic buildings on
Roosevelt Road, and Wheaton not individually notifying homeowners immediately

people are aware that federal law bars discrimination on the job due to gender,

taking the form of assumptions that civilians make about military life and
service. That could come from recruiters who ignore relevant job experience —
like leading a caravan of military vehicles in the desert when hiring for a job
driving a commercial truck. It could come in the form of an innocent-seeming
question during a job interview about whether you suffered from post-traumatic
stress disorder (PTSD) after completing a tour in Afghanistan. Or it could be
the more obvious refusal to reinstate you at your old job after regular service
with the National Guard. Several federal laws aim to prevent those kinds of
situations. Here’s a look at the laws that protect those who come back from

2000-2004 and 2008-2010. I published Milton Township’s first website in 2001
and served as its webmaster 2001-2003. I served as Illinois Center Right
Coalition’s webmaster 2004-2006. I have been sending out GOPUSA ILLINOIS emails
since 2000 and publishing copies of them at www.gopillinois.com
since 2005. I have been on Facebook since January of 2009.) https://www.times-standard.com/2019/05/26/career-corner-seeking-digital-natives/ (FROM THE ARTICLE: This
term makes sense at first. But, the definition of a digital native, according
to Dictionary.com, is “a person born or brought up during the age of digital
technology and therefore familiar with computers and the internet from an early
age.” Those who are turning forty this year probably started to use the
internet around 1995, when they were sophomores in high school — if they were
lucky. That was in the time of the dial-up modem and America Online. Their
parents were ahead of the game to have a home computer then. In all likelihood,
they really began to use computers when they went to college. It should be
noted that I’m omitting early Mac computers and things like Atari for the
purposes of this column. I’m talking about the real-deal internet. Digital
natives had the internet in elementary school or middle school. Wikipedia says
digital natives “are often used to describe the digital gap in terms of the
ability of technological use among people born from 1980 onward and those born
before.” By this definition, a digital native would be 38 years old or younger
today. Let that soak in. A job description that specifically requests that
someone is 38 years old or less. Why does this happen? I don’t have the answer
for you. I’d like to know this myself. I thought that the idea of a job posting
was to hire someone with a certain skillset rather than a certain age. I also
heard this rumor that discriminating on the basis of age when hiring is not
allowed. In fact, I think there may be something called the Age Discrimination
in Employment Act.)

BUSINESS NEWS DAILY
— How Can You Tell if a Job Candidate Is Lying About Their Credentials? – Adam
C. Uzialko https://www.businessnewsdaily.com/11314-background-check-candidate-credentials.html (FROM THE ARTICLE: When
employers don’t want to conduct candidate verification themselves or feel it
would be better handled by a professional third party, there are background
check services. These companies are available to screen candidates, usually for
a per-candidate fee, and provide background check reports for the employer’s
review. Background checks generally review criminal history at the federal and
state level, as well as verify past employment and educational attainment.
“Manual verification of job candidates, especially in high-volume
situations, may be impractical,” Chancey said. “For best results,
employers should consider partnering with a reliable background screening
vendor. Look for a vendor whose screening platform is easy to use and takes out
the hassle of verifying multiple candidates, integrates with other HR systems
such as the applicant tracking system, and whose capabilities can be customized
to the needs of your organization.”)

your demographics, what harmed your career? The following harmed my career in
the federal government: I did not become a veteran. I did not become a
Democrat. I did not become a yes-man. I refused to help my Democrat superiors

male, and/or non-veteran and had not made GS-13 (currently $98,198) by age 25,
GS-14 (currently $116,040) by age 30, GS-15 (currently $136,495) by age 35, and
Senior Executive Service (currently $165,500) by age 40. I complained about
political affiliation discrimination. I complained about reverse
discrimination. I complained about age discrimination. I complained about retaliation.

discrimination, and retaliation.) https://www.theladders.com/career-advice/5-common-career-mistakes-to-avoid-at-all-costs
