In short
- Ohio law requires a database review and a fingerprint-based criminal records check for every direct care job.
- You may start conditionally only after the database review is clear and your fingerprint form is done. The Agency requests your check within five business days.
- If your results are not back within 60 days of the request, conditional employment must end.
- You will be checked again at least every five years.
- Tell the Administrator before your next shift if you are arrested, charged or convicted.
