Evergreen Homes requires that all employs, upon hire, complete a criminal clearance. The agency will accept clearance dated no more than 1 year prior to date of hire. This is completed at the cost of the employee and each clearance is $22.00. Applicants who have not resided in the state of Pennsylvania within the last 2 years are also required to complete an FBI Background Check at the applicant's expense. In addition, the applicant will be screened through the federal data base system, upon hire and monthly thereafter, for exclusion of receiving federal money due to fraud as required by the Department of Public Welfare.
