Topic Background :

In September of 2018, the Federal Consumer Protection Bureau issued an Interim final rule summarizing consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, thus adding to the confusion for employers conducting background checks for potential new hires.Even more perplexing for employers are the reporting requirements for adverse actions. Of course the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission had to step in with their own guidelines on the use of background checks for employment purposes. Now many states and municipalities are making it more difficult for employers by passing “ban the box” legislation which makes it illegal to ask questions on criminal conviction history on employment applications.Couple all of this with protecting employers from negligent hiring lawsuits and you know why many human resources professionals are pulling their hair out trying to be in compliance while making good hiring decisions.This webinar will review the intricacies of dealing with all of the above to recruit and retain the best employees possible.
