FAIR EMPLOYMENT ACT
Wisconsin’s Fair Employment Law, Chapters 111.31 - 111.395, Wis. Stats., prohibits discrimination because of a criminal record or pending charge; however, it is not discrimination to decline to hire or license a person based on the person’s arrest or conviction record if the arrest or conviction is substantially related to the circumstances of the particular job or licensed activity.

PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION
This information is used to obtain relevant data as required by the provisions set forth by the Wisconsin Caregiver Background Check Law. Providing your social security number is voluntary; however, your social security number is one of the unique identifiers used to prevent incorrect matches. For example, the Department of Justice uses social security numbers, names, gender, race, and date of birth to prevent incorrect matches of persons with criminal convictions. The Department of Health Services’ Caregiver Misconduct Registry uses social security numbers as one identifier to prevent incorrect matches of persons with findings of abuse or neglect of a client or misappropriation of a client’s property.

Completion of this form is required under the provisions of Chapters 48.685 and 50.065, Wis. Stats. Failure to comply may result in a denial or revocation of your license, certification, or registration; or denial or termination of your employment or contract. Refer to the instructions (F-82064A) on page 1 for additional information. Providing your social security number is voluntary; however, your social security number is one of the unique identifiers used to prevent incorrect matches.

The most accurate predictor of future employee performance is their past performance in a similar situation; essentially past behavior predicts future behavior. The questions provided in this guide lead the candidate to share what they have done and how they did it. If the candidate fails to provide an actual event, you will need to clarify what you are looking for. You may also need to probe; consider the following pieces of information for each response they provide.

• The situation leading up to their action
• The actions they took
• The results of their action

1. What do you enjoy about caregiving and what aspects of the job do you find most likely to wear you down or discourage you?

2.  How would you respond to a client who used rude or derogatory language toward you?
