However, background checks are a complex process with a great many moving parts. Failure to comply with numerous state and federal laws and regulations also carries extreme risks. A number of class action lawsuits under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) have been filed against employers. In addition, employers must comply with EEOC guidelines, 'Ban the Box' Laws, and Fair Chance Hiring rules that give former offenders a second chance. Get updated on the recent legal developments and cutting-edge issues and learn legally compliant best practices and trends to keep your business productive and out of court.
