Background checks
 

Making us wait until background results are returned will make it virutualy impossible to hire staff.  With the shortage of qualified applicants, making them wait anywhere from 2 weeks and as long as 6 weeks, they will take other jobs.   How would you like to wait a month or 6 weeks to be hired and go without a pay check that long?     No one will wait that long.  I sincerely believe that this regulation will cause severe staff shortages making it impossible to provide the standard of care we all want for our individuals.
