Product ID: 704188
- Duration: 90 Min
Why Should You Attend:
Background checks, used correctly, are an invaluable tool for ensuring a safe, reliable workforce –and avoiding negligent hiring liability. At the same time, the use of criminal background checks in the hiring process is creating an increasing exposure to liability. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is aggressively pursuing this issue to ensure the practice does not have a disparate impact on minority applicants. Plaintiffs' class action attorneys are pursuing employers nationwide for failing to conform their background check process with the dictates and protections of the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
Finally, state and local governments continue to pass laws limiting how and when employers may inquire about applicants’ criminal histories and how they may use that information. This webinar will highlight lessons learned in the trenches, and offer insight into how to properly handle the sensitive use of criminal background check information.
