All individuals can begin the initial background check process by visiting the link here, reading through the information that is available and submitting an application. This gives the district authorization to screen the individuals criminal history.
When selecting a location the individual should select “4J-Independent Contractor” and make a note regarding their company’s name. The individual should provide a current email address as this will be how the district follows up with them regarding next steps.
Please allow time for processing. If an individual has a criminal history it can take longer to get through the process.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE INDIVIDUAL IS NOT CLEARED TO START WORKING ON 4J PROPERTY UNTIL AN INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR AGREEMENT (ICA) IS SIGNED BY ALL PARTIES AND THE INDIVIDUAL HAS COMPLETED THE REQUIRED BACKGROUND CHECK PROCESS(ES).
When answering the questions regarding any criminal history an individual must include things that they believe to have been expunged. If the district locates charges that were not disclosed they will receive an automatic denial. Should they mark “yes” on any of the questions they must provide a concise explanation as to the circumstances that lead to the charge(s).
Once they have completed this process the Human Resources Department will notify them about further steps, if necessary, or if the individual is cleared to begin working on 4J property.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact the Human Resources Department at HR@4j.lane.edu or 541-790-7670.
