Are you background check savvy?: Answers

Answers:

1. (D) 94 percent of the employers surveyed said their organization conducts one or more types of employment background screening. The top three reasons given for conducting background checks were:

  • Protecting the safety of employees and customers (83 percent)
  • Improving the quality of hires (51 percent)
  • Mandated by law/regulations (40 percent)

2. False. The FCRA, which is the primary legislation that regulates employers’ ability to obtain and use background information, mandates that disclosure forms and authorization forms be standalone documents separate from each other and the job application.

3. (B) No. Per FCRA regulations, employers are not allowed to add language prohibiting an employee from filing a lawsuit as part of disclosure or authorization forms.

4. (A) At this time, there are 15 states with ban-the-box laws that apply to private employers. There are more than 30, however, that have such laws that apply to state, county, city, and other municipalities (public) employers.
