Periodic Rechecks for Employment Screening
Periodic rechecks are a proactive way to monitor your existing workforce for new criminal activity or license changes that may impact their eligibility for employment. These rechecks help organizations in regulated industries, safety-sensitive environments, or positions of trust maintain ongoing due diligence after the initial hire. Whether it’s a criminal recheck, MVR update, or database sweep, Edify Screening helps automate and deliver these insights with speed and accuracy.
Our periodic rechecks can be scheduled annually, quarterly, or even monthly, depending on your policy needs. These services are often bundled with Continuous Criminal Monitoring or Motor Vehicle Record (MVR) updates and help mitigate risk, reduce liability, and meet compliance expectations from insurers, government agencies, or internal stakeholders.

Why It Matters
Employees don’t stay static—and your background screening shouldn’t either. Periodic rechecks help you identify issues that arise after hire, such as new arrests, license suspensions, or recent convictions. This protects your customers, brand, and workforce while demonstrating a strong culture of accountability. In industries with high liability exposure or strict regulatory oversight, rechecking is not just smart—it’s essential.
Use-Cases
- Home healthcare providers ensuring continuous eligibility for client-facing roles.
- Trucking companies rechecking MVRs every 12 months per FMCSA guidelines.
- Financial institutions monitoring employees with access to sensitive funds.
