Employee Fingerprint Clearance

Just a quick tip this week with regards to fingerprint clearances.

 
A common question I receive in classes and in consulting is how can you get quick results on a fingerprint clearance?

 
Naturally, the clearance itself may take a while, but once it clears it is posted on the California Background Clearance Listing.  If a name shows up there then the individual is cleared to work in a community care facility.  Most often you will see the name of the individual listed twice.  Without this second clearance listed you need to wait for a clearance letter from the State.  If the individual's name appears twice then you can hire them immediately.

 
We've created a shortcut to this listing.  Go to our website at www.communitycareoptions.com and look for the Fingerprint Clearance link at the bottom left.  This link will take you directly to the search page and you can bypass all of the CCLD pages.  You can also click HERE to view it.
