Do not fear signing the M.I.B. Authorization

The M.I.B., or Marine Index Bureau, Authorization, is a standard form for employee’s to sign prior to being hired by the company. It’s a way for an employer to see what, if any, questionable maritime-related legal history the prospective employee might have. Do not look upon it as signing away any type of legal rights or as just giving the company access to your private information and a tool that they could use to blackball you. Look at it the same way as an authorization for a lender to access your credit history.  A sample M.I.B. Authorization follows:

 Marine Index Bureau Authorization

I authorize the prospective employer, US SHIPPING CORP, to request background information from MIB Services, Inc.(Pretiem), a consumer reporting agency, concerning my past employment and other data. I understand that if this information will in any way effect my employment opportunities with the company, I will be given a copy of report and an opportunity to discuss the information before further consideration for employment.
