Criminal Record & Legal Checks
Criminal record checks are essential for creating a safe and secure workplace. Our screening services examine police databases, court records, and legal registries to identify any past criminal activity or ongoing legal issues.
What Are Criminal Record Checks?
Criminal record checks involve searching law enforcement databases, court records, and legal registries to determine whether a candidate has any history of criminal activity, pending legal proceedings, or past convictions. In Sri Lanka, this typically includes searching records maintained by the Sri Lanka Police and relevant magistrate and district court systems.
These checks are particularly important for roles that involve access to sensitive information, financial assets, vulnerable populations, or positions of authority.
What We Screen For
Why Criminal Checks Are Essential
Hiring an individual with an undisclosed criminal history can expose your organization to workplace violence, theft, fraud, regulatory penalties, and legal liability. Industries such as banking, healthcare, education, and government often have statutory requirements for criminal screening. At Ontriq, we conduct all checks with proper candidate consent and in compliance with Sri Lankan law.
