The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) places strict regulations on how consumer reports, including background checks, are used to protect applicants’ privacy and ensure fairness and accuracy in job selection decisions. Employers must go to great lengths to understand and comply with FCRA regulations to avoid costly legal actions and reputational damage- and an excellent Credit Reporting agency, such as PlusOne Screening Solutions, can help.
PlusOne Screening Solutions is an expert in the screening industry, and we are careful to stay abreast of regulatory compliance in federal, state, and local jurisdictions to ensure PlusOne and our customers are compliant with the FCRA and other regulations. These updates help to ensure we help keep everyone protected from reputational risk and costly litigation.
At PlusOne Screening Solutions, we are deeply committed to ensuring that you have all the necessary tools and information to stay compliant with federal and state regulations. Our primary mission has always been to support organizations in navigating the complex landscape of regulatory compliance. We are dedicated to offering you comprehensive, up-to-date information and resources to help you stay ahead of regulatory changes. Our team of nationally recognized compliance experts and FCRA-certified staff are here to provide you with the highest level of guidance and support. We are nationally accredited and provide expert support from staff certified in Fair Credit Reporting Act compliance, a number of whom are involved in the Professional Background Screening Association Leadership Council and the Gaming Protection Executive Board.
PlusOne Screening Solutions proactively monitors the complex regulatory landscape and is constantly refining and expanding services to better meet customer needs and make compliance straightforward and manageable. Notably, PlusOne has recently developed a 50 State Legislative Tracking Tool with extensive resource links to provide customers access to all the information needed to make informed decisions. This tool provides critical information regarding state FCRA laws; local, state and Federal drug screening laws; guidance on state laws (such as Ban the Box) regulating criminal history inquiries; detailed information on various state-specific statutes; specific information on states with seven-year reporting limits; latest updates and trends affecting your industry; screening best practices; information on the Fair Chance Act and its implications; Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and updates; and essential forms needed for compliance processes. We also provide quarterly compliance updates of the latest regulatory changes and regulatory action alerts on items that may impact customer operations.
In the past year, PlusOne has also made several improvements to our background screening application process to help protect our customers from costly litigation as well. These improvements were designed to provide important information, such as a clear disclosure of who screening info is being shared or not shared with, clear documentation of State/City notices & FCRA Summary of Rights, and acknowledgement of these notifications during the application process in the electronic application.
