Common use of Security and Background Clause in Contracts

Security and Background. The Employer reserves the right to conduct necessary personal background investigations for Safety Ambassadors. Any refusal to supply or authorize access to information or lack of cooperation on the part of the employee in the course of such investigation may result in termination of employment. Failure to meet State or Federal requirements will be just cause for termination of Safety Ambassadors. With the exception of the initial fingerprint-based Bureau of Criminal Apprehension check on external applicants for Safety Ambassador positions, the Employer shall be responsible for the costs associated with background checks. For applicants to Safety Ambassador positions, this background check shall occur at the time of hire and the results of the investigation known to the applicant as soon as the Employer has received the results of the background check. For existing Clean Ambassadors being reassigned to be Safety Ambassadors, security and background checks shall occur at the time of reassignment of job classification and the results of the investigation known to the employee as soon as the Employer has received the results of the background check. Applicants shall be told at the time of hire that these investigations will determine their eligibility of employment. Existing employees who, as a result of a security and background check do not meet the eligibility for the Safety Ambassador position, shall remain in their original job classification.
