Employment Application

I have only been in HR for two and 1/2 years, however, we have always had a blank for social security number and/or driver's license. I received a copy of a page from KASB (Kansas Association of School Boards) that stated asking for this information is a violation of a person's privacy rights.
Just curious if you are omitting this information from your applications and what do you ask for (within legal limits) to assist you in obtaining references, etc.?
Thanks,
Robin

I don't recommend hiring until reference checks are done. Unfortunately, I have had to deal with a few Administrators who have done just that and found out after the fact that a newly hired employee had some pretty bad/scary information out there. And we have to deal with the consequences of a poor decision.
I'm going to get in touch with one of the attorneys at KASB to find out more.
Thanks,
Robin
