To ensure a safe and trustworthy platform, Task Aces requires all Taskers to undergo a comprehensive background check. This process is designed to verify the identity, qualifications, and criminal history of Taskers to maintain high standards of safety and reliability for our customers.

1. Introduction

Task Aces is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for both Customers and Taskers. As part of this commitment, all Taskers must complete a background check before they can offer their services on the platform. This ensures that Taskers meet the necessary legal and safety standards.

2. Types of Background Checks

• Identity Verification:

  • Taskers must provide a government-issued photo ID (e.g., driver’s license, passport) to verify their identity.
  • Proof of address (e.g., utility bill, lease agreement) is also required to confirm residency.

• Criminal Record Check:

  • Taskers will undergo a criminal background check to ensure they have no disqualifying criminal history.
  • This check includes a search for criminal convictions, including but not limited to violent crimes, sexual offenses, theft, and fraud.

• Driving Record Check:

  • For Taskers offering services that involve driving (e.g., delivery, transportation), a driving record check is required.
  • This check verifies the Tasker’s driving history, including any traffic violations, DUIs, or accidents.

• Professional Certification Verification:

• Taskers who offer specialized services (e.g., plumbing, electrical work) must provide proof of their professional certifications or licenses.
• These documents will be verified to ensure they are current and valid.

3. Background Check Process

• Consent and Authorization:

  • Taskers must provide written consent for Task Aces to conduct background checks.
  • This consent is obtained during the initial registration process.

• Submission of Information:

  • Taskers are required to submit their personal information, including full name, date of birth, and address, for verification.
  • Copies of required documents (ID, proof of address, certifications) must be uploaded through the Task Aces platform.

4. Criteria for Disqualification

• Criminal History:

  • Taskers with a history of violent crimes, sexual offenses, theft, fraud, or other serious criminal convictions will be disqualified from joining the platform.
  • Minor offenses may be reviewed on a case-by-case basis, considering factors such as the nature of the offense and the time elapsed since the conviction.

• Driving Record:

  • Taskers with a history of serious traffic violations, DUIs, or multiple accidents may be disqualified from offering driving-related services.
  • A clean driving record or evidence of responsible driving behavior may be required for approval.
