Civil cases are of a non-criminal nature where one party sues another for compensation for damages or monies owed. Contracts and tort cases are also initiated in civil courts. A contract case involves one party suing another party for violation or enforcement of an agreement. A tort case involves one party suing another party for an injury both intentional and/or unintentional conduct. An unintentional tort is typically a negligence action, such as an auto accident. Some States have a separate upper and lower court while some are combined. Lower courts involve lesser amounts of $10,000 while upper courts typically process cases with higher amounts. Civil records have very limited identifiers.
Requires a direct search of the records of a county courthouse to determine if any felony and/or misdemeanor convictions exist. Vigilant highly recommends that the criminal background check be conducted in the jurisdiction that the applicant has lived and worked, or attended school, during the prior 7 years. Alias names provided and/or detected should also be checked for the highest level of accuracy.
A Credit Report for employment purposes does not show an applicant’s credit score, but details name and address, any tax liens, public records, collections, the person’s rating of payment history, high and low credit amounts, and any negative credit activities. Typically, credit reports are used as a background screen for applicants with fiduciary responsibility.
A Motor Vehicle Report (“MVR”) reports an individual’s State driving history for 3 to 7 years. The status of the license is provided and violations, suspensions, fines, convictions are detailed. A Driving History might reveal a conviction that may not be present in a criminal history search, such as a DUI (Driving under the Influence) conviction. Some 45 States provide instantaneous reports.

This drug is predominantly used at dance parties that are commonly referred to as "raves." Yet research has shown that Ecstasy is moving beyond the club scene and into everyday life. According to a National Survey on Drug Use and Health, an estimated 10.9 million Americans age 12 or older tried MDMA at least once in their lifetime.
The adverse effects of MDMA include confusion, depression, anxiety, sleeplessness, nausea, sweating, chills, dry mouth, increased blood pressure and heart rate, memory loss, muscle tension, tremors and blurred vision.
Testing for Ecstasy can easily be added to your current drug-testing panel. Negative results are reported within 24 hours of specimen receipt.

Typical areas that are verified include: dates of employment, position, job duties, salary, type of employment (full, part time, temporary, seasonal), reason for leaving, and rehire status. The policy of some organizations may require a release form, signed by the applicant, to obtain the information.

U.S. law requires companies to employ only individuals who may legally work in the United States – either U.S. citizens or foreign citizens who have the necessary authorization. This diverse workforce contributes greatly to the vibrancy and strength of our economy, but that same strength also attracts unauthorized employment.
