Newb question, here. It's my understanding that one of P411's main purposes is to somehow shift some of the risk from the provider to the client.
Apparently if a new client has no established references, then P411 takes the route of verifying employment. I've read where some providers also do this. However, it's unclear to me how employment verification protects a provider - especially when performed by P411.
I could see the purpose being to have some avenue of recourse - i.e., to locate the client should something bad happen (heaven forbid - such as robbery, rape, etc). But I've read where P411 destroys personally identifying info after verification, which seems like it would negate the whole purpose of verification in the first place.
So, what does anyone have to gain by verifying employment? Is it simply the peace of mind of knowing that that I'm a responsible individual who can hold a job?
Any light that can be shed would be appreciated.
