Employers and HR professionals should make sure they comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act when conducting background checks. The Fair Credit Reporting Act or FCRA, regulates not only credit background checks but also checking criminal records and driving records.
Under the FCRA, you’re typically free to conduct employment background checks and use the information only if you have a clear business interest, such as hiring, firing, reassigning or promoting someone. But first, you must receive the person’s written permission before obtaining the report. If you then decide to act on it by rejecting an applicant or firing a worker, you must tell that person in writing that you based the decision partly on the background check.
