BACKGROUND CHECKSIn accordance with TDI policy, TDI will conduct background checks on external final candidates for sensitive positons and internal final candidates moving to sensitive positions. DISQUALIFICATION An individual who has been convicted of a criminal offense relevant to the position for which he or she has applied or is being considered for promotion, reassignment, or transfer may be disqualified for employment in that position.
Evidence of a criminal conviction or other relevant information obtained from the criminal history record information shall not automatically disqualify an individual from employment with TDI. Consideration of such information shall be in conformity with applicable federal and state statutes.
Human Resources will determine, on a case-by-case basis, whether an individual about whom such information has been obtained is qualified for employment based on factors that include, but are not limited to:
If TDI receives criminal history record information during the pendency of any proceeding in which a conviction is not final, TDI reserves the right to make an employment decision before the conviction is final, if failure to do so would be impractical or detrimental to TDI. In determining whether a conviction is final for the purpose of this policy, TDI shall exercise its discretion in accordance with all relevant federal and state statutes. NOTIFICATION An applicant who has been rejected for employment based on information obtained from the criminal background check will be notified in writing by Human Resources. In addition, for background checks conducted by Human Resources, a copy of the investigative information, and a summary of their rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) will also be sent to the applicant. The notice provision does not alter the at-will status of TDI employees.
