Sorry if this is the wrong place. It didn't seem to fit exactly in anywhere, unless I missed a section.\

 

Anyway, filling out the FID papers again and had a few questions.

 

1) Does a cousin's wife count as a relative? Or is it just direct blood relatives that cannot be used?

 

2) Where it asks for employer, what if I have more than on employer? Won't that turn up in a background check anyway?

Does a cousin's wife count as a relative? IMO, no.

Or is it just direct blood relatives that cannot be used? IMO, wife also can not be used.

Where it asks for employer, what if I have more than on employer? IMO, list one.

Won't that turn up in a background check anyway? No.

They may send a character reference form to your employer for completion and return by the employer. I handle HR for my firm and when I applied and our Co president applied, I got the character reference forms for completion and return.

Considering you don't know whether your Police department actually contacts your employer reference, I would make sure you pick the one you have the best relationship with management.
