Screening and Assessment
Employment class action lawsuits under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) are dramatically increasing, and a new trend for the plaintiff’s bar is emerging: allegations that the employer failed to provide appropriate pre-adverse action notices and waiting periods. Meanwhile, the rise of ban the box (BTB) laws at city, county and state levels has further increased the risk of legal noncompliance. Many of these new laws go beyond FCRA mandates and require special disclosures and information be provided in the adverse action process. Elizabeth McLean will help you understand the FCRA pre-adverse and adverse action requirements, BTB requirements across the country, and how to best use individualized assessments in connection with hiring. You’ll gain insight into what you need to know to navigate the entire process in a way that protects your organization from liability while honoring and respecting candidates within a fair hiring framework.
