4. SUBSCRIBER'S ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF COMPLIANCE WITH THE FAIR CREDIT REPORTING ACT: The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) governs the activities of consumer reporting agencies, as well as the users of the information procured from these agencies. A consumer report contains information on a job applicant/employee's character, reputation, and other personal data; therefore, use of such information is strictly regulated by the FCRA. Among other things, the FCRA prohibits employers from obtaining consumer reports unless the employer discloses to the applicant, in writing, that such a report may be acquired, and obtains the written authorization of the applicant/employee to inquire into this background information. The FCRA also requires employers to take additional steps when they make an employment decision based in whole or part on the background information. These steps are intended to give the applicant the opportunity to dispute any information contained in the background or consumer report.

According to FCRA guidelines there is no limitation as to the length of time investigated in an applicant's past unless the applicant earns less than $75,000 a year. These reports can only contain adverse information for the past seven (7) years.

Corporate Intelligence urges all employers to review the restrictions and requirements of the FCRA. The Act's citation is Public Law 91-508, Title 15, U.S.C. Sections 1681, et seq, and the text of this Act is available by request. Please note, particularly, the Permissible Purposes of Reports, as well as requirements on Users of Consumer Reports and Obtaining Information Under False Pretenses.
