# Does easyAML facilitate employee Personnel Due Diligence?

## Personnel Due Diligence (PDD) covers role-driven questionnaire, identity verification, PEP and sanctions screening.

**PDD (“Personnel Due Diligence” or "Know Your Employee") is available.** The workflow is similar tp the customer KYC flow but with role-specific questions tailored to AML/CTF integrity expectations:

- **Mobile-friendly** - the employee completes via their phone, similar to the customer KYC flow.
- **Role-driven questionnaire** - the employee receives a series of questions based on their role (CO, 2IC, Senior Manager, CDD User, Frontline Staff). Higher-risk roles get a deeper questionnaire.
- **Identity verification** - the employee's VOI is captured the same way as a customer's.
- **PEP/sanctions/adverse-media screening** - runs against the employee's identity to confirm they're not on watchlists or sanctioned.
- **Police check integration** - the Compliance Officer includes a police check under the **AUSTRAC integrity rules**; other personnel **do not require police checks** under the standard rules but can be screened where the firm's risk profile calls for it.

**Police check automation** is being developed; in the meantime, **COs can upload a completed police check** from a recognised provider (e.g. CrimCheck, Australian Federal Police, state police) as supporting evidence. The captured data flow is structured so police-check submission becomes a clean integration once it's enabled.

The AUSTRAC integrity-rule framework sits in **Rules 5–14**. See AUSTRAC's [AML/CTF Program reform](https://www.austrac.gov.au/amlctf-reform/reforms-guidance/amlctf-program-reform) materials for the broader context.
