The Workers’ Compensation Report provides information on the history of the candidates’ work-related injuries as reported by their previous employers.
The amount of information provided in the report generally varies by state. These may include the following:
- Nature of injuries
- Date(s) of claims
- State authority’s decision on the claim e.g. denied or upheld
The benefits of conducting this type of verification and background screening include:
- Identification of individuals who habitually files work-related injuries, a typical indication that they’re making a living off of Worker’s Compensation claims;
- Identification of candidates who habitually apply for positions requiring physical exertion despite being aware of their physical limitations that make them susceptible to injuries;
- Identification of individuals with a history of fraudulent Workers’ Compensation claims;
- Identification of individuals who might pose a safety threat to the company and the employees;
- Reduction of costs on workers compensation insurance, a mandatory insurance for employers, by ensuring employees are capable of performing the job especially the physical and manual ones; and
- Well-informed evaluation of the candidates’ effectiveness and productivity based on their employment history.
The information needed to run the Workers’ Compensation Report search includes:
