Criminal Background Information

Please note: Employers are required by law to run a Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) check on anyone they are looking to hire for jobs that require you to be alone with clients, handle money, or handle medical records. It is important to recognize that a conviction may not disqualify you from consideration for a position, but, depending on the nature of the offense, may present a significant barrier to being hired in this field.
