This is an excellent article on the basics of the Fair Credit Reporting Act from the JDSUPRA BUSINESS ADVISOR. As someone who coaches novice firearms shooters, I always say that you can’t stress the safety basics enough or too often. The same applies to avoiding litigation with full FCRA compliance. Of course the first step is to engage a professional background screening organization like Integrity Background Screening, LLC but the article is still worthwhile to read with particular emphasis on pre-adverse and adverse action notification before making a no-hire/no-lease decision!
