When A Criminal Slips Through The Cracks
One can easily assume that even the most basic background check would catch a candidate who’s been arrested more than a dozen times in a span of 15 years. The chances of that person being hired are almost non-existent. That’s not the case for Jodie Fleischer who even with a lengthy criminal history was able to get hired by a temp agency who later assigned her to work for The Department of Revenue. According to Atlanta’s WSB-TV, Fleischer is accused of stealing a check for $27,000.
“The Department of Revenue has its own full-time criminal investigators. All employees are checked for criminal history and tax problems every year, but temporary employees may not receive the same scrutiny. Both agencies the Department of Revenue uses claim to do complete criminal background checks.”
Revenue Commissioner Bart Graham said, “She clearly shouldn’t have been working here in the first place. If everything had been forthright and accurate on the front end, and we’ll deal with that as we go through the relationship, not only with that temp agency involved in this, but all temp agencies.”
