Alert: Criminal Services Resuming with Modifications in Gwinnett, GA - 06/24/2019

Gwinnett County, GA courts still do not have an ETA for when their upgrade to their public access terminal system will be completed.
Since this county appears to be reporting data timely to the statewide level, ESR has begun substituting Georgia Statewide criminal history searches when a Gwinnett County criminal history search is required.
There is no additional cost to ESR clients for this service. ESR will notify clients when this substitution is made.

Please contact Client Support at clientsupport@esrcheck.com or at 888-999-4474 with any questions you might have.

Alert: Re-opening and Re-performing Domestic (U.S.) Verification Related Services 6/15/2019

Sometimes, after following standard verification processes, a verification service is closed without the desired information being verified. For example, an employer may not respond to requests for employment verification four days in a row. ESR clients occasionally request that ESR reopen and reperform a verification, sometimes asking ESR to use new contact information for a verification source that they have received from their applicant.

ESR is happy to perform such reverification services. Beginning June 15, 2019, ESR will charge $5.00 for this service. Anytime this is requested, ESR will create a new verification and fully perform the verification according to the directives in place for that client.

Any service requested to be reverified will be treated as a brand-new verification and we offer to fully rework the service including use of new or updated information, and applying the same number of attempts to obtain the verification. The charge for this reverification going forward will be $5.00.

Direct any comments, questions, or concerns regarding this announcement to your Client Support Representative directly, or to Customer Support at customersupport@esrcheck.com, or 888-999-4474.

Alert: New Mexico Passes Ban the Box Bill - 06/05/2019

New Mexico's governor signed a ban-the-box bill that passed the legislature this spring. The full text of the statute is available Here.
The bill prohibits private employers from making any inquiry about an applicants arrest or conviction history on an employment application, however the bill would allow an employer to take into account a conviction after reviewing the application and discussing employment with the applicant. The bill also allows an employer to let an applicant know of a policy that disqualifies individuals with certain criminal histories from employment with that employer.
The bill takes effect June 14, 2019.
