BACKGROUND INFORMATION DISCLOSURE (BID)

INSTRUCTIONS

The Background Information Disclosure form (F-82064) gathers information as required by the Wisconsin Caregiver Background Check Law to help employers and governmental regulatory agencies make employment, contract, residency, and regulatory decisions. Complete and return the entire form and attach explanations as specified by employer or governmental regulatory agency. NOTE: If you are an owner, operator, board member, or non client resident of a Division of Quality Assurance (DQA) facility, complete the BID, F-82064, and the Appendix, F-82069, and submit both forms to the address noted in the Appendix Instructions.

CAREGIVER BACKGROUND CHECK LAW
In accordance with the provisions of Chapters 48.685 and 50.065, Wis. Stats., for persons who have been convicted of certain acts, crimes, or offenses:

The Department of Health Services (DHS) may not license, certify, or register the person or entity (Note: Employers and Care Providers are referred to as "entities");
A county agency may not certify a child care or license a foster or treatment foster home;
A child placing agency may not license a foster or treatment foster home or contract with an adoptive parent applicant for a child adoption;
A school board may not contract with a licensed child care provider; and
An entity may not employ, contract with or, permit persons to reside at the entity.

The list of offenses affecting caregiver eligibility that require rehabilitation review is available from the regulatory agencies or through the Internet at http://DHS.wisconsin.gov/caregiver/StatutesINDEX.HTM.

THE CAREGIVER LAW COVERS THE FOLLOWING EMPLOYERS / CARE PROVIDERS (Referred to as “Entities”):

Programs Regulated under Chapter 48, Wis. Stats.

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.

2023_CAREGiver Interview Questions

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?

3. If everyone we hired had the exact same personality, experience and skillset as you, how do you think that would affect the business as a whole? What kind of positive or negative effects would we see?

4. What personal values are most important to you? (it lets us see if their values align with ours)

5. What skills do you have that make you feel the most qualified to be a caregiver, and which skills do you feel you still need to develop?

6. What could your future employers do differently than your past employers to help you perform more effectively and feel more fulfilled in your job?

7. Imagine that you decide you need in-home care yourself. Describe the kind of caregiver you would want to take care of you. How well do you think you meet these criteria as a caregiver?

8. Describe a circumstance in which you believe it would be justified to be late for work. (just curious because it's an ongoing issue for people here).

9. Everyone likes to be recognized for their work somehow in different ways. How do you prefer to be recognized for your work, and how can we help you feel appreciated when you go above and beyond?

10. How would you handle the situation if a work supervisor reprimanded you in a way you felt was unjustified or unfair?

11. In past jobs, when did you have to bend the rules in order to ensure the best service be provided for a customer?
