How long do Verifile's background checks remain valid for?

[CF]

It’s worth recognising that any background check only ever gives you with information on an individual at that point in time.
 

At any successive stage, an employee’s circumstances could change, meaning they cannot satisfy the pre-employment screening criteria you had in place when they joined.
 

The employee may have gained a criminal record, a County Court Judgement (CCJ) or declared bankrupt.
 

They may have accumulated points on their driving license or indeed lost their license.
 

Staff may deal with family issues, ill-health, debt, or other deeply personal issues which may place them under pressure and force them to act improperly.
 

Alternatively, they may even have set up a separate business of their own, which could conflict with, or draw attention away from, their role within your organisation.
 

Therefore, regular, ongoing monitoring of existing employees is becoming more popular.
 

Rather than speculating about how long a check may remain valid, consider how long you would want to go without re-checking an existing employee.
