Background Checks Done Right: Stay Compliant, Stay Protected

Gaining access to privileged consumer information isn’t worth the time or money if it is not done legally. CNet’s goal is to provide accurate and detailed information in a timely matter and in accordance to Federal and State laws and regulations. That means we aim to include only the type of information in our reports that is relevant to your hiring decision.

Should you decide not to hire a particular employee, or to let an employee go due to information acquired as a result of a background check, you are legally obligated to inform the individual of the information used in your decision. If you have obtained this individual’s information illegally, i.e., the individual did not sign a legally binding authorization and disclosure form, a lawsuit can ensue. Take the recent class action settlement against First Transit, for example. The plaintiff argued that First Transit failed to complete the three-step process as required by the FCRA before rejecting an applicant based on the results of a background screening report. Other common lawsuits regarding unauthorized background checks include not hiring an individual based on false background report information. These lawsuits are just a few examples out of many where companies, intentionally or not, find themselves in noncompliance and are forced to pay heavy fines.

Compliance can be challenging for companies with a large contingent workforce.

Too Many Vendors, Too Many Requirements - We Keep Track So You Don’t Have To

With so many vendors coming in and out of the door, it is nearly impossible to verify that each vendor has completed the appropriate paperwork as required by your company’s vendor management policy. Just as with new employee hires, someone will be required to check the compliance levels of vendors and complete the missing data, such as proof of citizenship, copies of vehicle insurance, etc.

CTrack enables you to keep track of all your vendors and whether they are compliant and up to date and in compliance with your company’s requirements.
