BACKGROUND CHECK PROCESS The Chancellor of the University System of Georgia has mandated that background investigations (BIs) be conducted by USG institutions. Background investigations shall be conducted on regular full-time and part-time new hires and rehires, as well as temporary non-student hires. In addition, BI’s will be performed on employees being promoted, transferred, reassigned, or reclassified into "positions of trust (PDF)," unless the University previously conducted background investigations on such employees any time after July 1, 2002. Student hires will be exempt from the BI process, unless federal or state law requires a BI (e.g., working with minors, financial responsibilities, etc.). |
DISCLOSURES
Are you employed or have you previously been employed by UGA or within the University
System of Georgia?
Please be advised that you will need to share this information with your hiring unit.
This will affect your provisioning
and access to systems as additional actions may be required from your previous institution.
Failure to share this information could also delay payroll processing and/or cause
benefits issues. Be sure to disclose additional
employment information with your department.
Please note: If you are a current University System of Georgia employee, you cannot begin working
for another USG institution without the completion
of a Dual Appointment Agreement.
