Protecting your business and your brand can start with screening a prospective employee. Background screening can help employers determine which individual is the right fit for a position; however, it is important that all laws are followed carefully. As an organization, you must carefully avoid violating any decision-making law so you do not have a risk of liability for negligent hiring or discrimination. It is vital that you and your screening vendor are aware of laws and regulations so your employment screening program can have positive results. This webinar discusses: 
  • Employer responsibilities under the Fair Credit Reporting Act
  • New litigation targeting Disclosure and Authorization forms/E-Signatures
  • Compliance with state law
  • EEOC criminal history guidance
