12VAC35-106-240. Criminal background and registry searches. A. Providers shall comply with the requirements for obtaining criminal history background checks as outlined in §§ 37.2-416, 37.2-506, and 37.2-607 of the Code of Virginia. 1. The documentation necessary to conduct the criminal history background check shall be submitted no later than the first date of employment.

Comment: Asking employers to submit a Central Registry form no later than the 1^st day of employment may be an administrative burden – this cannot be completed online like Fieldprint and requires a check to be cut for $10.00. Cutting a check prior to someone starting could cause an undue administrative burden should the candidate not start.
