FCRA BASICS FOR EMPLOYERS
Pre-Employment Screening Solutions implemented a proactive approach to FCRA compliance that includes specific processes and procedures to protect the rights of candidates who apply for employment. The links below provide additional information about the candidate’s rights and the employer’s obligations under the FCRA.
Pre-Employment Screening Solutions also compiled a comprehensive State Rules Registry available to clients from within their account with us. This service is designed to help Human Resources comply with the myriad of ever changing state laws affecting the onboarding process that go beyond the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Our goal is to present these restrictions, suggested practices, practical tips, and ongoing notifications in an easy to use format.

A number of states have implemented requirements similar to the FCRA that require additional steps. Employers should determine if additional practices must be implemented based the organization's location(s).
Employers should periodically audit processes to confirm FCRA compliance with guidance from an attorney.
