Food for Thought – HR 2
Document Examination
In the previous Post, Food for Thought – HR, we addressed
the importance of non-discrimination for new hires as well as their paperwork,
and the use of “due diligence” and “good
faith” when addressing documentation being presented by new hires.
Unless you’re a
forensic specialist, no one expects you to be an expert, but what should you
look for when examining the documents in front of you?
Please try to keep in mind that sometimes not having a
specific document, or having a document returned, it doesn’t necessarily mean
the person is attempting fraud.
Sometimes, especially with documents; life happens. Fires, floods, storms, moving...all these
things happen and sometimes documents get lost, and some are more easily replaced
than others.
One thing to remember is, a missing or incorrect
document may be reason to raise an eyebrow, but not necessarily an alarm.
An article, written by the staff of verifyi9.com, addresses the
employers’ responsibility for some “common sense” when looking at documents,
and shows some examples of what to look for.
More on this subject to come in future posts.
