Why?

The reasons are numerous, but a common thread can be traced back to the fact that many janitorial companies have become accustomed to hiring illegal aliens to service their accounts.

The reason they give is because of the highly competitive custodial market that we’re faci

However, what’s the threat a business owner is faced with, when they hire a company that employs illegal workers?

Consider the following: · That business is faced with the possibility that the illegal worker may be planning to return

nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically

to their native land, and isn’t planning on going empty handed. That worker could leave with a mop bucker or vacuum, but in many cases, they choose your laptop computer or TV. · Illegal workers have been known to attempt to extort money from America’s via the Internet or by phone, from thei

These are just some of the risk associated with allowing an illegal worker to clean your building. But, what is a business owner to do?

First, ask for their General Liability and Workers

t?

As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel

ompensation Insurance policy carriers list you as a Certificate Holder. This tells the Insurance Company that one of their customers (the cleaning company) is cleaning your building, and if for any reason their policy lapses, you are to be notified immediately. Also, if there is a claim aga

ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality.

Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust

Also, you could ask the cleaning company to supply a Fidelity Bond. A Fidelity Bond is insurance against fraudulent acts that cause a lost by individuals. Usually it is put in place to protect a business owner against dishone

y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products

t acts (theft, damages, etc.) by their own employees. However, a reputable cleaning company should be able to secure one as well.

Finally, a business owner should always stay in close communication with the owner or their representative of the cleaning company. You should require that all

.

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

personnel changes must be submitted in writing before said changes are implemented. Also, make sure that your building and office keys are marked ‘Do Not Duplicate’ and individually numbered and recorded. That way when a change in cleaning personnel takes place you will be better able to mo

Companies that provide selfless information through particip

itor any changes, and address potential problems before they become ‘front page’ news.

Bottom line, as a business owner, you have to be proactive to protect the physical and intellectual property of your company, your employees and your customers.
