WA-Several weeks ago I hired a girl for a front desk position that has a parttime job as an intern at the local courthouse. I was told today that she ran a background check on another employee and told him(she has a crush on him). He told me that he had never given his last name to her so she must of used his timecard. He was upset by this. She gave him details she would only know if she had run it.He probably has not been the only one she has run.
Of course this was unethical and I will have to let her go. However, I got a DUI 2 years ago and a couple other employees have problems on their history. I asked my PO if he could tell if someone had accessed my records recently and he said there was no way to tell(I found that strange because you can see if someone accessed your Credit). Anyway, he wants me to give him her name so he can forward it to the Prosecuting Attorney.
I am struggling with this-I am very visible in my position in this small community and know the Sheriffs at the courthouse(I live in a different city an hour away). How should I handle this? If I turn her in will I be opening a can of worms?Washington.
