| Program Overview & Learning Objectives | |
| Program Overview: | Background checks can contribute valuable information to the hiring process and even help you avoid hiring applicants with criminal records that might expose you to a claim of negligent hiring. But background checks can also trigger a number of legal risks. The Fair Credit Reporting Act imposes requirements that employers must strictly comply with or risk class action litigation. The Wisconsin Fair Employment Act places specific limits on the permissible use of arrest and conviction records. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission takes the position that using background check information in hiring decisions can have a disparate impact on certain protected classes. And finally, “ban the box” laws and similar legislation can also limit employer’s ability to check on applicants' backgrounds. This program will cover these areas and provide tips for how to avoid lawsuits while making the necessary inquiries into applicants’ backgrounds. |
| Learning Objective 1: | You will learn about determining whether a background check can be requested, requesting a background check, considering and using background check information and communicating the results of a background check. |
| Learning Objective 2: | You will learn how to comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act and avoid becoming the latest victim of class action litigation under the FCRA. You will also learn how to comply with the Wisconsin Fair Employment Act’s limits on the use of arrest and conviction records in employment decisions, and other laws that apply to background checks. |
| Learning Objective 3: | You will understand how to use background checks in ways that help you make better informed hiring decisions, thus avoiding potential claims of negligent hiring. |
