Title: Background check question
Post by: Sadawg04 on May 04, 2018, 09:59

hey guys. My question is how long does a background check typically take for a commercial power plant? Thanks

1 day at times, usually no longer than a week is what I've seen.  If it is an initial could take longer.  I waited 3 weeks for my badge at IP but I don't know why.

Usually about a week. Plants without access to PADS may take longer.

How long have you waited?

Well I just got hired. They said it will take maybe a month. I just submitted my electronic phq yesterday. I do in processing pretty soon and I would imagine after that it will come back.

If this is your first check, it may take a month. If you weren't clear on your answers, it will add more time.

Also, if the company doing the check has trouble contacting your references, it will add time (I had this happen).

Isnt your job offer contingent on your passing your phq?

That is correct.
