Protecting the Hirer
In South Africa, staff employment is controlled by the Basic Conditions of
Employment Act7.
Since employers are legally responsible for ensuring the safety of their
workplace, they obviously want to know who they are hiring. This is one of the
reasons behind the upswing in demand for criminal record and credit checks.
Accordingly the Act permits potential employers to ask applicants if they have
criminal records and request details if the answer is yes. However, any decision
not to employ the candidate has to be related to the conviction.
In other words, the conviction must show that the person would constitute a
threat to the company. The law does not however allow prospective employers to
enquire about arrests that did not result in convictions and it also does not permit
questions on pending cases since in South Africa a person is presumed innocent
until proven guilty.
Cliffe Dekker then notes that in terms of the King Report, a company’s board is
responsible for ensuring that the company has implemented an effective ongoing
process to identify risk, measure its potential impact against a set of
assumptions, and then activate what it believes is necessary to proactively
manage these risks.
The board should therefore decide on what risk that company is prepared to take
and what risks it will not take in pursuance of its goals and objectives. Further,
risk assessment should address the company's exposure to, among other risks,
WHITE PAPER ON SCREENING
those in the form of human resources risks.
Fingerprint is a unique feature to an individual. It stays with a person throughout
his or her life.
This makes the fingerprint the most reliable kind of personal identification
because it cannot be forgotten, misplaced, or stolen. Fingerprint authorization is
potentially the most affordable and convenient method of verifying a person’s
identity.
The lines that create a fingerprint pattern are called ridges and the spaces
FINGERPRINT SCAN
between the ridges are called valleys. Its is through the pattern of these ridges
and valleys that a unique fingerprint is matched for verification and authorization.
