Watch Illinois Program For Employee Monitoring
Many companies today do pre-employment screening before making a hiring decision. But it is often what employees do after hiring that creates serious financial and liability issues for businesses. Financial difficulties, substance abuse, and domestic issues at home are often brought into the workplace, which then effect EVERY person in the company. Watch Illinois’ Program For Employee Monitoring allows businesses to monitor and track newly filed public records on the employees of their choosing, in a secure, confidential online account.
Discover public record information about your employees after the hire:

• Find out if an employee who drives a company-owned vehicle receives a DUI, or has their license suspended or revoked.
• Track employees public records for recent arrests for drug possessions or domestic battery.
• Learn if an employee who is entrusted with company funds has had a foreclosure, bankruptcy filing, or a federal tax lien.
• Be notified if an employee or nanny who works with children is arrested for child pornography, battery, theft, or other charges.
• Stay current on where your employees live to ensure they are compliant with residency requirements.
• Help improve workplace safety, and reduce workplace theft.
• Be aware of situations that may affect the cost of health or auto insurance benefits, such as divorce or DUI.

Not a day goes by where we don’t hear of some type of violence in the workplace, which many times can create huge lawsuits, or completely devastate a business. More than ever, companies are taking a proactive approach in dealing with employees who may have personal issues that could affect business.

• Track the foreclosure status of properties you are considering investing in.
• Be notified if one of your residential or commercial managed properties goes into foreclosure, files bankruptcy, goes to tax sale, and more.
• Make contact with property owners in foreclosure so you know how the owner plans to remedy the situation. Will they still pay association dues? Are the utilities still turned on? Be aware!
• Be alerted if a property you manage is facing a sale for unpaid taxes, so you can protect your investment instead of letting an investor purchase it later at auction.
