If the background check results in information deemed unacceptable according to the guidelines listed above, the MYSA coordinator will contact you and you will be given an opportunity to explain misunderstandings or inaccuracies in the report. If background checks reveal convictions of any crimes within the past 15 years from the date of application, the person’s application shall be rejected or she/he will be dismissed from any position she/he holds in the organization. Any convictions occurring more than 15 years ago may be considered by the Risk Manager in determining the applicant’s suitability for the position, but will not automatically disqualify the application.
