I realize you're on vacation, but maybe some of those still in the office can give us the specifics.
I downloaded the new policy and looked at it. For those interested, the parameters for disqualification are on Page 3.

I noted that if one is rejected, you have the right to dispute the report.
This covers a couple of the items I brought up, thank you.
However, I'd still like to know what, exactly is provided to EAA by the company performing the investigation. I notice the updated policy states that the background check is "a criminal and employment history report."
Employment History Report? The only thing I see in the Disqualifying Criteria list related to employment is, "Were previously terminated from a paid or volunteer position because of misconduct with a youth." Seems reasonable...but not something a previous employers tend talk about, without a definitive legal case to point at.
A little more disquieting, I did a Google search for "Employment History Report", and found this definition:
"An Employment History Check is an attempt to contact previous employers to verify job title, dates of employment, salary, and eligibility for rehire."
Does the investigating company gather that information? Is our salary information provided to EAA as part of the Employment History Report? If the company hired by EAA is doing a "standard" employment history check, they would be getting that data.
Again, the YPP doesn't tell us what is collected. It lists the criteria that would lead to rejection, but nothing says the data gathered is limited to those factors. I'm not asking EAA to confirm or deny that salary data is included in the Employment History Report, I want EAA to tell us everything that they get in both the criminal and employment investigations.
The YPP still doesn't address how our information is protected. How many people have access to it? If someone receives a letter from EAA requesting a donation, how can they be sure the letter was random instead of triggered by salary history information in the Employment History Check?
The YPP allows rejected applicants to view the information gathered about them. Nothing is said about letting ANYone access the information gathered about them. ALL members should be allowed to see all information EAA has collected about them....and its source.
And, again: What is EAA's PII Protection Policy, and how does it cover material gathered as part of the background checks?
