Ticking Time Bombs

Many lawsuits (including class action suits) arise because of inadequate authorization and/or disclosure forms. It is the end user’s (hiring company) responsibility to be sure it is using jurisdictionally appropriate forms. Cutting Edge can help.

We have sample forms and our QuickApp portal provides appropriate forms and authorizations.

One overlooked compliance requirement could trigger a devastating lawsuit. Background check laws are a continually changing landscape.

Remember: If you choose not to hire someone, under the FCRA you must provide a pre-adverse action notice giving the applicant an opportunity review the background check, then send a final adverse action notice. There are many jurisdictions across the country that have requirements in addition to the FCRA’s for pre-adverse and adverse action notices. Be sure you are aware of and following the laws.
