In many cases Background Checks are automatically verified during a membership purchase or renewal process. In these cases, if the member has a background check on file from a date that meets the requirements of the organization, the membership requirement will be complete, and nothing more is needed from the member.
Purchasing a Background Check during a membership purchase process
If the member does not have a background check on file, they will see a "Incomplete" status for that requirement, and will be presented with a section similar to below.
If you click "How to resolve" you will see the specifics for that particular Background Check requirement.
If you require the background check, it will be automatically added to your cart. With some configurations, you are still allowed to remove the background check from your cart, and purchase your membership, however you will still be missing the background check requirement.
Purchasing a new standalone Background Check
To purchase the background check by itself, you can:
- Login to your account on:
CCN https://ccnbikes.com/#!/login 2M https://2mev.com/#!/login HorseReg https://horsereg.com/#!/login PlayerWeb https://playerweb.com/#!/login AthleticsReg https://athleticsreg.ca/#!/login SnowReg https://snowreg.com/#!/login H2Oreg https://h2oreg.com/#!/login IceReg https://icereg.ca/#!/login - Go to your profile, or click "Memberships & Licenses" directly from the account drop-down:
- From your profile area, click on "Memberships & Licenses":
- If there is no valid background check on your profile, simply click on the 'Action Needed' button next to your membership:
- That will open the requirements list popup:
From the "How to complete" popup, click "Purchase a Background Check Now": - Select the person who needs the Background Check, and proceed to cart for checkout.
That's it! You'll receive an email from Sterling Backcheck to easily complete the process and once it is complete your membership requirement will automatically be updated.
- If the candidate does not complete their eConsent forms, a reminder will be sent 3 days after the client sent the request. The online questionnaire link is only available for 14 calendar days.
- When the candidate completes the consent forms, but the candidate does not successfully pass their ID Verification, a reminder will also be sent, 3 days after the client sent the request
- When the candidate completes the consent forms, failed EIV and did not complete the alternative ID Verification, the file will be set to ‘Waiting for missing information’ status, and our operations team will send a reminder email 5 days after we receive the completed eConsent forms.
