Background Checks

NYSED Fingerprinting will cost approximately $100, which Scoot will reimburse in your pay check after your first shift worked. Please keep and upload your receipt.
Background check results come back in 48 hours if clear, longer if there is a record to review.

After your stellar interview and going through the background check processes, your consultant will email you to complete the next steps of onboarding. You’ll be asked to upload/submit the following:
Three references including at least one supervisor
We contact these references via email, text and/or phone to review your previous work experience.
Payroll information
This is so you can start getting paid right away!
Scoot Profile Photo
A friendly and professional headshot is your profile's first impression for schools. This helps them recognize you and may lead to more frequent bookings.
Complete your I-9
Form I-9, also known as the Employment Eligibility Verification form, is utilized by employers in the U.S. to verify the identity and employment eligibility of individuals they hire.
Our onboarding platform will guide you through the required documents, with common submissions including a U.S. passport, or a U.S. driver's license/ID card and a Social Security card. For details on acceptable I-9 documents, please refer to this website. After your documents are fully verified and your I-9 is complete, you can proceed with your application.
