Employee fraud in companies, knowing how to choose your employees thanks to pre-employment!
According to the Global Barometer of Theft in Commerce and Distribution, in 2011 it is in North America that businesses are the most numerous (39.4%) to observe an increase in fraud of their employees. The world average is set at 24% and there is a fairly large gap with North America.
According to the same study, retailers in Canada estimate that 54% of employees are thieves, not customers. They believe that thefts are made by false return merchandise, suspicious back and forth in the back shop, mysterious disappearances in the cash drawer, dishonest use of the POS terminal ( TPV), etc. Dishonest employees do not miss an opportunity to round off their end of the month.
In Quebec, the Conseil québécois du commerce de détail estimates criminal losses at $ 586 billion! Imagine the money your business can lose through unchecked hiring. That’s why

How to protect yourself from fraudulent tenants?
Many times we hear property owners complaining that the tenant does not pay their rent every first of the month, that he has left the house unfit, that he has animals even if this is against the owner’s rules or even that he left without giving any news. Avoid these situations with the ACCESS IDentité pre-rental service tailored to YOUR needs.
Knowing that according to the annual report of the Régie du logement, that all complaints combined, the average time to obtain a first hearing was 4.6 months in 2013-2014, you do not have as much time to lose. In addition, recourse to the court generates costs that you could avoid by making a pre-lease.
ACCESS IDentité offers you the possibility to avoid several hassles by using the pre-rental service. Before renting your home to someone, check with us what you would like to know about the tenant. We offer the following services:
- Credit investigation
- Criminal record checks
- Checks at the Régie du logement
- References from previous owners
- Employment confirmation
- Checking the damage caused by animals
The rate varies between $ 59 and $ 99 depending on your needs for the pre-rental service. By performing these checks, you avoid renting to a dishonest tenant who could cost you much more than our service. Plus, our online and remote service saves you time. A full report is sent to you as a result of the pre-lease survey to recommend or not the candidate. Contact us at 418-380-0891 or by email at [email protected] for Quebec and 450-910-1701 at Terrebonne or email at [email protected] for more information on this service.

What will be the use for request for forgiveness?
First of all, you have to know that some people have difficulty getting promoted because of their criminal record. By having your request for forgiveness, you become eligible for a promotion, and therefore, a salary increase. This increase will quickly pay for your pardon. In addition, there are several other jobs available to you because you will meet the job eligibility criteria of having a clean record or getting a pardon.
Some tips to avoid a bad tenant
Remember that an empty apartment is much better than a poorly rented apartment. Indeed, thanks to technology, we are now able to investigate a future tenant. It is therefore important to check the antecedents of the stranger who will rent your building. Once the lease is signed and the individual moved in, it is often too late to investigate the candidate. In this article, we share some tips to avoid the worst.
- The credit inquiry. ACCESS IDentité offers you the opportunity to check if the candidate is a good payer. Does he have debts? Does he pay his accounts on the due date? Has he ever declared bankruptcy? This gives you a good idea of the type of person and their payment habits. Of course, ACCESS IDentité provides you with a written report recommending or not the candidate according to several points evaluated.
- The character inquiry. ACCESS IDentité is based on many aspects of the candidate’s life. These aspects are: professional, personal and moral. First of all, we check if the candidate has a job, his salary, his attitude at work, etc. Then we check if the candidate has a criminal record. Finally, a personal survey is conducted with the candidate to verify his relationships, his lifestyle and his past.
- Confirmation of the candidate’s claims. ACCESS IDentité confirms or invalidates the candidate’s statements. Indeed, some candidates will lie to the owner about their job, their company, their assets so that they rent them the apartment. ACCESS IDentité is able to determine the candidate’s assets and verify if he is actually telling the truth. We also estimate the candidate’s salary and determine whether or not they are able to pay rent on various current expenditure.
- Audits of previous owners. ACCESS IDentité investigates the tenant’s behavior vis-à-vis their former owners. Thus, if the owner says that the candidate has left the housing in a shabby state, we will advise against it. In addition, if the owner says he has difficulty receiving payment, it will be the same.
- Complete and detailed report of the candidate. ACCESS IDentité will give you a complete and detailed report of the candidate in question. This report is a summary of the candidate’s survey and will advise you on an informed choice. Of course, the final decision will come back to you. However, remember that a reliable tenant is worth gold.
ACCESS IDentité now offers you the opportunity to apply for pre-rent directly online on our website right here. It will be our pleasure to help you find the ideal candidate for your home, WITHOUT CONCERNS AND WITHOUT TRACES.
Do you really know the people who works at your job?
In a society where a large proportion of the population has a criminal record (+/- 15%), it is essential for a company to have a good knowledge of the employees who will represent them to their clientele. The impact of a troubled past and the presence of a criminal record could seriously damage your business and negatively affect the image you want to project with future buyers.
How can I verify?
Do not do the ostrich! Some firms offer you a service that is available for free? Do not rely on this statement:
Your candidate Mr. X does not have any criminal record.
You know that this is a pure mirage!
That’s why ACCESS IDentité has the solution for you. Have a clear conscience by getting a much more complete and official document: a police certificate
The criminal background check and pre-employment industry is full of misrepresentations.
Ask for a certificate!
What is a police certificate?
Access IDentité will give you proof that an verification will be done by a police service. We check forensic information at the only police bank in Canada. All other data banks, the Law Courts or the Government Legal Portal, give only partial and incomplete results.
Also, for a few more dollars, we can find out if the selected candidate has charges that are pending in a courthouse in Canada. A practical tool to avoid unpleasant surprises!
Why pay for these partial, incomplete checks?
The real cost for these services is $ 0. Learn it!
What is the deadline for obtaining a police certificate?
It only takes a few hours. Try us! We offer you the safest and fastest way to get the right and true information for hiring your future employees.
