Based on that review, Microsoft may prohibit access as it deems appropriate to any individual submitted for placement by suppliers. Microsoft reserves the right to review and discuss with suppliers, in a manner consistent with applicable law, pre-placement background information for any individual submitted for placement suitability by suppliers who may require physical access to Microsoft owned or leased facilities or virtual access to Microsoft resources such as email and corporate network access. Supplier must certify that it has conducted pre-placement checks consistent with the Supplier Preplacement Policy and that any convictions, serious delinquency or debt, or any other matters disclosed in the background check that may render the individual unsuitable for placement at Microsoft has been reviewed by the supplier, and that the supplier has determined that the individual is suited for access to Microsoft owned or leased facilities or access to Microsoft virtual resources such as email and corporate network access. Examples of convictions that may be reasonably related and should be reviewed by the supplier include but are not limited to: crimes of dishonesty (that is, theft, embezzlement, fraud, forgery, etc.) and crimes of violence (that is, murder, rape, kidnapping, assault, robbery, stalking, harassment, etc.). The supplier must determine whether the background screening report contains information such as criminal convictions or other matters that render the individual unsuited to perform work connected to Microsoft. When considered for placement at Microsoft, individuals should demonstrate a history of conduct that is trustworthy and reliable and does not pose a threat of risk to people, property, or proprietary information.
