It is not what you know about the nanny, employee, or independent contractor, but what you don't know that will cause you trouble. ACIS private investigators in Los Angeles, San Bernardino, and Riverside counties conduct background checks at affordable rates.  Why conduct a Background Investigation when hiring employees? When you make business decisions there are some liabilities when hiring new employees, screening and selecting tenants, signing contracts, or using the services of other professionals. You must know everything of prime importance about the history of the person or business to make the right decision.   It would be important to know if you doctor been sued for medical malpractice.  What if your attorney has been suspended from the state bar?  Our staff will confirm the person's identity and the legitimacy of businesses with a comprehensive investigative report regarding character, professional license, driving history, civil records (specifically: lawsuits, evictions, bankruptcies, judgements, and tax liens), criminal record, financial dealings, and confirmation of professional licenses. We also canvass the neighbors and interview references and family members.
 
EMPLOYMENT
 
Since 1986, the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) was enacted by congress, mandating U.S. employers to hire only U.S. citizens or  authorized residents to work in the United States.  Every employer should use a standard check for prospective employees to verify their identity, social security number, and driver’s license.   Protect yourself from fines or imprisonment for hiring undocumented aliens, under-age minors, child molesters or persons using fictitious identification.  Checks can also be expanded to include honesty and polygraph testing.  

ACIS has private investigators trained in assisting employers pass I-9 audits and compliance.  If your company just received notice from Department Of Homeland Security of intent to conduct I-9 inspection, ACIS investigaors can conduct a compliance pre-inspection to ensure compliance and reduce risk of fine, sanuctions, and or imprisonment.   Pre-inspection compliance audit save employers millions of dollars in fines by avoiding serious violations of the employment verification requirements.  This includes review of the employer’s hiring system and the methods used to collect and continuous update of Employment Eligibility and Verification Form (Form I-9).   We have former Immigration investigators on staff.
