This workshop provides detailed information all business owners, managers, and
human resource professionals must know. We begin by discussing why a company
should consider doing more than just past employment job referencing.
Attendees learn the legal responsibilities of employers and the ramifications to
both the company and human resources professionals by not digging deeper.
Attendees receive a detailed review of the Consumer Credit Reporting Reform Act
of 1996 (Public Law 104-208), which amended the Fair Credit Reporting Act
effective September 30, 1997; along with the ’98 Clarification Act and all the
recent staff opinions from the Federal Trade Commission.
Further, a discussion of what information is legally available, the different
methods agencies use to obtain their information, and the risk inherent in
using the information supplied from some. Finally attendees are given
thought-provoking questions about the use of their own company’s employment
applications.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act is now old law, however, nearly half of employers
who perform background screening continue to violate its provisions. In
addition, California has enacted its own set of laws that further restrict
employers on what they can get from a background check and adds imposing rules
and expensive consequences when background screening whether they use a
consumer reporting agency or perform the searches themselves. Learn the legal
issues you must know when background screening including just calling
references.
