It is the policy of the Area Agency on Aging of Southwest Florida, Inc. that applicants for employment undergo a national criminal history background screening (Level 2) in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 435.04, F.S., as a condition of employment or being permitted to serve as a volunteer.
All candidates required to be screened must be screened and eligible before they are hired to work in a position that provides direct contact with vulnerable persons. However, an employer may hire an employee to a position that requires background screening before the employee completes the screening process for training and orientation purposes. The employee may not have direct contact with vulnerable persons until the screening process is completed and the employee demonstrates that he or she exhibits no behaviors that warrant the denial or termination of employment.
If an employer / provider becomes aware that an employee / contractor has been arrested for a disqualifying offense, the employer / provider must remove the employee / contractor from contact with any vulnerable person that places the employee / contractor in a role that requires background screening until the arrest is resolved in a way that the employer / provider determines that the employee / contractor is still eligible for employment / contracting under this Agency.
Level 2 screening records are confidential and may not be shared with anyone other than the individual that was screened. If additional information is needed, Department of Elder Affairs (DOEA) will contact the person screened through non-certified mail, based on the address submitted to FDLE, which will delay the processing of the screening.
The employer should contact the person screened if delays exist. Please be advised that it can take between 24 to 72 business hours for the Livescan service vendor to transmit the fingerprints to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE).
Please note the Background Screening Unit average processing times for reviewing these screenings is 5 to 7 business days once the results are received from FDLE.
