What is Adverse Action in Pre-employment Screening?
What is Adverse Action?
Section 603(k)(1) of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) states that an adverse action is “a denial of employment or any other decision for employment purposes that adversely affects any current or prospective employee.” These decisions include not hiring, not retaining or not promoting an individual.
What does this mean for my company?
If your company uses a consumer report/investigative consumer report in whole or in part to deny someone employment or promotion, you are obligated under the FCRA to provide both Pre-Adverse and Adverse Action Disclosures to those applicants/employees.
What is a Pre-Adverse Action Disclosure?
The disclosure must contain information stating that an adverse employment action will be taken, a copy of the consumer report/investigative report, and a summary of the applicant’s/employee’s rights. The disclosure must also include the consumer reporting agency’s name and contact information. Once the applicant/employee receives the disclosure, he or she must be given sufficient time to dispute the information.
What is an Adverse Action Disclosure?
The Adverse Action Disclosure contains wording similar in nature to the Pre-Adverse Action Disclosure and must be done in a reasonable amount of time after the Pre-Adverse Action Disclosure. The disclosure informs the applicant/employee of the final decision made by your company in not hiring, not retaining or not promoting an individual.
Do I need to do both the Pre-Adverse Action and the Adverse Action Disclosures?
Yes. Both are required under the FCRA.
Where can I get samples of these disclosures?
You may either contact our office at 800-991-9694 or click here for samples of the Pre-Adverse and Adverse Action Disclosures. (will link to our pre-adverse/adverse action letters)

Filtration & Separations Recruiter - What Criminal Search should I run? - Database Searches

What Criminal Search should I run? - Database Searches
Today when an employer decides to start doing background checks on their job candidates, the most common search that is requested is the criminal background check. The employer may go on line and type in “criminal background checks” in the search engine of their choice. Then sit back and try and weed out one particular company or option from the 240,000+ matches to their search request.
Before choosing someone to do the background check for you, an employer needs to be aware of few things. If you are offered an “instant, nationwide criminal background check” for only “$19.95” you should be a little hesitant. Remember the old adage “if it sounds to good to be true, it probably is”. A lot of the “instant, nationwide” criminal searches are database searches. Database searches have their place and can be useful, but if a background screening company does an “instant database” search for you, they should also be letting you know that that database search needs to be backed up. Databases are just that – a database. You will find a large number of users putting information in to that database. However, it is not always updated on a regular basis. Someone may have been charged with a crime in “Whoville” and that crime will be listed, however what it does not tell you is the case was either dismissed or dropped to a misdemeanor. In order to get that information someone needs to go to the “Whoville” court and look up the court dockets. If you base a hiring decision on what you found in “Whoville” and choose not to hire someone based on that crime, you may find yourself facing a few problems. Also “nationwide” database searches aren’t really nationwide. Sure, you will probably get something from every state, however you will NOT get everything from every state. You may find that one county in a particular state is on the search, or one state run prison from another state is on the list. In that way, it can be listed as nationwide because you are getting something from every state. However, the search is not as thorough as you think. Be very careful with this type of search and be sure to read the fine print on what exactly the information is that you will be getting.
