Background Checks: Getting the Facts on Job Candidates--Legally Training Seminar
Learning how to conduct legally safe and effective background checks will save your company money in several ways. You'll reduce the risk of bad hires - which cost you between three and 10 times an employee's annual salary. You'll prevent "predictable" lawsuits provoked by hires who came to your company with a bad track record you didn't, but should have, known about. And of course when you conduct background checks "by the book," you'll avoid the legal pitfalls many companies fall into when researching job candidates.
This course will give you the practical tools you need to understand:
- The driving forces behind background checks in today's business world
- Shocking information on most resumes that can create liability
- Multiple lawsuit exposure under federal and state laws including costly negligent hiring and retention suits
- How to write sound background checking policies for your organization
- How to best conduct: employment verifications, educational verifications, drug screenings, criminal/motor vehicle record checks, credit checks,
- When do the complex requirements of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) kick in and how to comply
- What is the "Disposal Rule" under the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA)
- Bad things that happened to other employers who did not conduct background checks but should have: real cases and bad outcomes.
This legally-based "best practices" presentation will answer the following critical questions:
- Why spend resources on background checks if you have many applicants?
- Who has the burden of conducting background checks?
- Do states have different back ground checking requirements from one another?
- What key elements make a solid background reference checking policy to keep my organization from the most risk?
- Should our organization conduct the background checks or hire a vendor? What's the difference?
- When can we screen for drugs?
- Is there any required documentation I need to do if we reject an applicant?
- How long should I keep records?
