Who Did You Send to the Client’s Home?

SwyftOps has selected Critical Research as its integration partner for background checks!  Their FCRA-certified team understands laws that affect jurisdictions within the US and Canada. This allows us to provide our subscribers with SwyftSend!

Employers can conduct checks from beginning to end from the SwyftOps interface and typically with no need to interact with applicants.

Each includes a social security number (SSN) trace, both 7-year address-to-criminal and county criminal scans, national criminal database search (all names) including sex offender registries, federal criminal records, and a driving record (DMV) check.

While there is no set-up fee and no monthly minimum, there is a cost  ($21.95 per background check as described above).  Be sure to review terms and conditions before enabling this option in SwyftOps.

Who Opened the Door When They Got There?

Workplace safety cannot be ignored, and lawmakers are taking notice. OSHA and 9 states are already preparing for legislation that protects in-home workers.

When your employees enter clients’ homes, there is a startling possibility they will be victimized. According to nurse.com, 61% of homecare workers have experience violence or harassment to some degree.  And per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, there are 1.5 million attacks on healthcare workers per year (2020).
