re: I need to vent about stupid paperwork! Who is with me?

After Sandusky, they passed a new law. You have to mail a paper form to your former employer where they again verify you never had any convictions of child abuse. Your old employer has to mail it back.

Wow, that's some all around stupid right there. Your previous employer isn't going to have any better information than they can get themselves.

In Alabama you've got to submit a fingerprint and the State Bureau of Investigation does a criminal background check. May take a little while, but otherwise it is easy on both the applicant and the employer and unlike what you're going through it will actually find convictions.
