Common use of Background Investigation Clause in Contracts

Background Investigation. The EDD shall conduct a background investigation of the Contractor, its employees, contractors, agents, volunteers, vendors, or subcontractors, unless the EDD determines such individuals are not subject to a background investigation. Individuals must voluntarily consent to a background check and the EDD reserves the right to disapprove any individual from performing services under the scope of the Contract. Investigations will be conducted to ascertain whether a Contractor, its employees, contractors, agents, volunteers, vendors, or subcontractors have any state or federal convictions, or are currently released from custody on bail or on their own recognizance pending trial. The background investigation will include fingerprinting and an inquiry to the California Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) to disclose Criminal Offender Record Information (XXXX). The XXX will absorb the cost of the fingerprinting services.
