Question

If the candidate works remotely, do I select the business location or the candidate’s home location when choosing the Work Location?

Answer

We recommend selecting the location with the strictest reporting requirements. For example, New York typically has more stringent reporting requirements than Connecticut and will report less. If you have a candidate who works remotely in Hartford, Connecticut, but will sometimes travel into an office in New York City, New York, select New York City, New York, as the Work Location.

Checkr will already have the candidate’s home address as part of the candidate flow, either because the candidate completed Checkr’s hosted flow or because you imported the ZIP code using the API. With that information, we can apply the proper compliance filters based on their home address and the organization’s business location.
