What's in the National Retail Theft Database, and When do Employers Check it
My question involves criminal law for the state of: Washington
Here are some questions I have about the National Retail Theft Database...
1. Is it only used when employers are hiring?
2. Do employers use it to look up employees that already work for them? And if so, is this common?
3. Are businesses made aware when their employees are put on the list?
4. What does it include? (Pictures, details of what was stolen, etc)
Any other information would be wonderful.
Re: What's in the National Retail Theft Database, and When do Employers Check it
1) No, it is also used to run checks on current employees.
2) The NRMA does not indicate how often its members use the database for this purpose. It would depend on the individual retailer's internal policies.
3) No. The database is available to subscribers only. The NRMA does not take a pro-active stance.
4)
Quote:
Every adverse NRMA report that is issued must be based on one of the following:
* Signed admission statement
* Signed restitution agreement
* Fully satisfied civil demand
* Criminal prosecution which has resulted in a conviction
* A similar documentary evidence which demonstrates that the theft or dishonesty actually occurred and that the person named in the inquiry is the person who committed the act.
