For the purpose of this evaluation, the definition of trustworthy and reliable is an individual who is considered consistently dependable in judgment, character, performance, and does not constitute an unreasonable risk to the public health and safety.

The following are some negative indicators that you may want to consider:
·  Impaired performance attributable to psychological or other disorders.
·  Conduct that warrants referral for criminal investigation or results in arrest or conviction.
·  Indication of deceitful or delinquent behavior.
·  Attempted or threated destruction of property or life.
·  Suicidal tendencies or attempted suicide.
·  Illegal drug use or the abuse of legal drugs.
·  Alcohol abuse disorders.
·  Recurring financial irresponsibility.
·  Irresponsibility performing assigned duties.
·  Inability to deal with stress, or having the appearance of being under unusual stress.
·  Failure to comply with work directives.
·  Hostility or aggression toward fellow workers or authority.
·  Uncontrolled anger, violation of safety or security procedures, or repeated absenteeism.
·  Significant behavioral changes, moodiness or depression.
These indicators are not meant to be all inclusive or intended to be disqualifying factors, but also you may consider extenuating or mitigating factors in the determinations.
The following are examples of methods used to review employment history at UCR:

2.  I reviewed this individual’s personnel file and found no documented evidence suggesting this individual is not trustworthy or reliable.

Note: Information previously obtained during the Human Resources hiring process may be used to support the determination without having to re-verify that information.
1.  I independently verified the phone number for the Human Resources department of Company XYZ and spoke to Mr. John Doe who verified this individual’s employment status.
2.  I analyzed documentation and oral information. I interviewed Mr. John Doe from Student Affairs, and he verified this individual’s transcripts, financial aid application, enrollment application, and student visa were in order.
