Why Should You Attend:

The federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) regulates how employers conduct pre-employment screening and investigations of current employees. Any employer, Human Resources or Security professional involved in pre-employment screening or employee investigations must comply with this complex law. However, the FCRA is full of potential landmines that can expose unwary employers to liability. In addition, at least 27 states have their own version of the FCRA.

Employers have long recognized that conducting due diligence on new hires is a mission critical task. Firms cannot afford to be sidetracked by employee problems such as workplace violence, theft, false resumes, embezzlement, harassment or trumped-up injury claims. Employers can be sued for negligent hiring if they hire someone they should have known, through the exercise of due diligence, was dangerous, unfit, dishonest or unqualified.
