This reads as though you went on leave, came back, and there were no records of the period you were away.
A "background investigation" is usually a check of a criminal record. If you want to check the backgrounds of the employees in the other city, you have a right to information related to conduct of your business under the Privacy Act. There are limits on the information you can ask for, suggest you ring the Privacy Commissioner in whichever city you are, and ask what information you can obtain. A police check may be possible, but I can't say for sure.
That doesn't sound right, whatever the case. Why wouldn't records be kept over that sort of period?
I don't know if you're the manager, so:
1. Suggest to be on the safe side that you check up with senior management, explain the situation, get the OK to fire off a request for records.
2. If you're the manager, you're entitled to ask where those records are.
Either someone didn't know what was required, which is unlikely, or somebody got very lazy.
Whatever the case, you can't operate a business with missing records for a period of weeks.
By the way, Savvio, if I haven't understood your post correctly, you can clarify on this thread, and we'll try and help. |
