NAYA Application for Employment
Background Check & Fingerprinting
NAYA conducts criminal records screening for new employees and volunteers. This takes place after a job offer is extended. Job offers are contingent upon successful completion of a background check.
When reviewing a potential employee’s background, we consider the nature of the offense, the time since conviction, the positive impact the individual may have had within the community since the conviction, as well as the nature of the role for which the person is applying.
