Employment Background Investigation Information for Applicants
Applicants not currently employed by Baltimore County, who have received a conditional offer of employment, are required to have a pre-employment physical and drug screening, be fingerprinted and undergo an employment background investigation before their first day of employment. The fingerprint process is required regardless of whether the applicant has been previously fingerprinted for another job, childcare, or any other reason.
Employment Background Investigation Forms Packet
Within two weeks of applicants' conditional offer of employment they need to review and complete a Employment Background Investigation forms packet (PDF) the Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 (PDF), and schedule their fingerprint appointment with Integrated Biometric Technology (IBT). An Employment Background Investigation forms packet may also be obtained from the Baltimore County Government's Office of Human Resources.
