Benefits of Employee Screening With Paychex

Conduct Drug Testing
Creating a drug-free workplace starts during the pre-employment screening process. A 2019 Employment Screening Benchmark Report from HireRight® revealed that 71% of organizations uncovered issues during a drug screen that they wouldn’t have been aware of otherwise.
Compliance-Friendly
Paychex Employee Screening Services comes with access to HireRight’s Compliance Workbench, which can assist with keeping employers abreast of state restrictions related to criminal background screening and drug testing.
Get Quick Results When You Need Them Most
Quality candidates are highly sought after, so getting results quickly so you can make a decision can make a big difference. Our Applicant Center allows candidates to easily upload required documentation, plus our mobile-friendly verification platform helps save time on administration and helps minimize data errors.
Get Secure Access to Results
For a background check, candidates must sign a release and share their Social Security number. Repay that trust by demonstrating how much you value individuals’ private information. Paychex is offering this service through HireRight, whose industry-leading technology includes safe and secure transactions via an SSL-encrypted website.
Elevate Your Employment Screening Program
When you’re ready to conduct background checks, Paychex Employee Screening Service delivers comprehensive, customizable solutions to meet your evolving needs. With these solutions, you can have peace of mind while you focus on productivity improvements and building your business.
Consider Your Company’s Reputation
A mistake in hiring due to a lack of proper pre-employment screening could cost you more than just the time you spent recruiting, interviewing, and training an individual. There can be financial implications, liability issues, and potential damage to the reputation of your business. Our thorough services can help you save more than just money.
Because hiring is so crucial, Paychex offers multiple subscription packages for its employee screening service. A subscription offers two key benefits: it allows your business to plan more easily and budget; and it features a built-in discount over a-la-carte pricing.
Consider Other Tools To Enhance Employee Onboarding
Your employees need to know workplace policies, safety regulations they must follow, and much more. Paychex Flex Hiring can help you to ensure all of this company-specific information for new employees can stay consistent and housed in one central online location.

How Do Companies Verify Employment History?
Often when an employer plans to extend a job offer to a job candidate, they will conduct an employment history verification, with the candidate’s consent. This process involves contacting each workplace listed on the person’s resume. The purpose of this step is to confirm that the applicant was employed there, check what the applicant's job title was while there, and verify their dates of employment. In most cases, previous employers may not share sensitive information, such as health data or the candidate’s salary and earnings history.
