New process: personal reliability and integrity background check (PRIBC)
Within the framework of certain contracts, external resources must undergo a background check to gain access to our buildings and facilities, confidential information or our computer systems.
As of February 6, 2023, Hydro-Québec is introducing a new process to facilitate this verification and has called upon the services of Mintz Global Screening to implement it.
Mintz Global Screening’s secure, user-friendly platform simplifies and accelerates the process that replaces the Vérification de la fiabilité et de l’intégrité des personnes (VFIP) [personal reliability and integrity background check] form.
The new process involves these steps to be followed by any external resource that requires access:
- The external resource fills out a simplified form [in French only] and sends certain information to Hydro-Québec, including a personal email address used in the context of their work.
- Mintz Global Screening will send an email to the resource 24 hours after the file is created by Hydro-Québec.
- The email will contain a unique invitation number and a link to a secure platform.
- The resource must access the platform and fill out the e-forms.
- The results of the background check will be sent to Hydro-Québec within three working days in most cases.
- If everything is in order, Hydro-Québec will provide the resource with the necessary access.
If an issue arises during a background check, Mintz Global Screening will provide ongoing support to the external resource. Contact information will be included in the email.
For more information, call or write to the Hydro-Québec representative who manages your contract.
