BACKGROUND SCREENING

Assessing Your Background Screening Program: Are You in Compliance?
An ancient Roman legal principle holds that “ignorance is no excuse for breaking a law.” This applies to individuals and corporations. One particular organization learned just how vulnerable it had been after reassessing its background screening program. Its previous background screening provider was using sent reports containing information obtained by searching databases. This was information that the organization used as part of its hiring decision-making process. During the reassessment process, they discovered some serious gaps with the process: first, the adverse action process was not in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA); and second, the reports it had received contained information that should have been restricted, as mandated by certain federal and state laws.
There are a number of steps involved in maintaining a robust and compliant background screening program. Evaluating your background screening program regularly is one of the key components to this. A sound program helps to ensure you hire the right people, as well as remain in compliance with laws and regulations.
