Computers Expedite Employee Screenings - washingtonpost.com: "Maryland businesses and government agencies seeking the criminal histories of prospective employees are getting speedier results from new state efforts to move background checks from a paper system into the digital age.
New computer software operated by the Maryland Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services has cut the wait times for background check results from three months to an average of two weeks, state officials said.
That's a big help to employers who regularly check for criminal records of job applicants. Maryland law requires criminal background checks for prospective police, teachers, nurses, child-care workers and some jobs that require access to private homes, such as heating and air-conditioning work, said Rosa Cruz, a spokeswoman for the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services."
