Keeping your workplace safe despite the EEOC

In an increasingly litigious society it has never been more important for employers to understand what it really meant by “compliance” The EEOC has made that clear through the recently issued guidelines that policies must be in place to “do it right”. There is a zero tolerance for mistakes, and this will be reflected in a more active enforcement strategy by their investigators. If employers wish to consider character in hiring decisions compliance is crucial, or lawsuits will follow.
But it is not all doom and gloom – in fact if you work with the right programs from an experienced provider your due diligence and compliance in hiring processes will be stronger than before. One of the most common problems, and arguably the root cause behind these new rules, is the inappropriate use of database criminal record check data that has not been validated as current, and confirmed as to the identity of the offender. There have been, are, and no doubt before the message gets through to employers will be, many class action lawsuits on this single aspect of the hiring process involving criminal record checks.

How do you achieve FCRA (now administered by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) compliance with Pre Adverse and Adverse action.? How do you avoid inviting an EEOC investigation?

Compliance is straightforward in reality, but requires commitment and monitoring to achieve it. This is “must know” information which will dispel the myths, and provide the knowledge needed to protect your organizations' interests through the development of best practices.
