FCRA Compliance Update for Employers

June 20, 2018 @ 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm

$209

An ever increasing number of employers are recognizing the benefits that can be derived from conducting background checks on both current and prospective employees. While background checks can be an effective tool for weeding out questionable employees, legal limitations on how such checks can be performed (and how the resulting data discovered can be used) must be understood or otherwise an employer will find itself defending against its own illegal actions. In this seminar, you will learn about the chief law covering this topic, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and review the kinds of background checks that can be conducted by employers. Much of these latter discussions will be focused on the Fair Credit Reporting Act guidelines for conducting criminal background checks previously issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and also on the recent trend in many states of placing limits on when criminal background information can be obtained from candidates for employment through enacted ‘Ban the Box’ laws. Finally, the increasing use of social media outlets to conduct background checks will also be examined, along with the potential legal risks and pitfalls of utilizing such media outlets to perform background checks.

  • You will be able to identify EEOC guidelines on conducting background checks.
  • You will be able to recognize The Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act.
  • You will be able to discuss the downside of not performing background checks properly under legal restrictions.
