FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT AND COMPLIANCE

There are many laws and regulations governing permissible uses of pre-employment background checks.

For example, the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is the main federal law regulating the use of background check reports to make employment decisions, including hiring, retention, promotion or reassignment.

In addition, many states including California, New York and Massachusetts have adopted their own pre-employment background check regulations that must be followed by companies operating in those states.
