What is the difference between a background check used for employment screening and a background screening used for licensing/certification purposes?
A. For licensure or certification by the Board of Nursing, all criminal offenses are screened and reviewed prior to licensure or certification. For employment background screening, the employer uses a specified list of disqualifying offenses pursuant to Chapter 435, Florida Statute. If the employee has one of these specified offenses, he cannot be employed until he receives an exemption.
