Another PRIA question?

[Sir Humpalot]

I tried doing a search on the thread for PRIA checks on companies who went out of business. Unfortunately, I threw out all my check stubs. I do have the chief pilots email but he does not have my training records. Whats the best way of going about this?

Once again, in English. It would appear that you're asking about how to handle former employers who have gone out of business, when applying for employment and filling out PRIA paperwork.

Short answer; it's not your problem. You fill out the paperwork, and let the company deal with it. Note that the employer is out of business. You're not required nor should you volunteer, to provide any evidence of employment. Simply issue the data requested; the dates you worked, address numbers, contact names.

You are not obligated to do the work for your new employer, nor should you try. Don't bring in pay stubs, don't attempt to locate training records. The records normally aren't forwarded.

Just fill out the forms, and forget it.

Half of my former employers are no longer in business (or cannot be contacted for other reasons). It's never been an issue during a PRIA check or any other background check. Simply provide the data for the company as it existed, and move on.

Most companies want W2s or tax returns as proof of employment when an employer no longer is in business. As for training records, the PRIA papers sent to the company you worked for only asks for them to submit what they have on you. If they don't have anything to send, then they just check all the NO boxes. That's what I've seen.
I wouldn't worry about training records, that's your old company's problem. But you do need those W2s or tax returns if you worked for an employer that isn't around anymore.
