Using Recurring Background Checks

For workers that have already been approved and are in Posthire when the recurring check rule is added:

If the rule frequency is set to an amount of time that exceeds the workers idle time in Posthire one of two things will happen (this will take into consideration their idle time in Posthire).

1. If the worker already consented, the recurring background check will be requested on the next day at 8am.
2. If the worker didn’t consent earlier, the background check run will be delayed by 10 days, and they will be requested to consent.

Adding a New Recurring Background Check
