Small business background check laws to know
When using a background check service for small business background checks, employers must follow rules and regulations designed to protect both you and your candidates.
Federal, state, and local laws, such as ban-the-box laws, restrict and regulate when background checks can be conducted, what can be reported, and what information you can use when making a hiring decision.
For example, the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) states background checks can only report on arrest records and non-convictions within the last seven years. Further, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) provides and enforces federal guidelines, including the guidance that background checks should be applied fairly and not be used only on selected candidates.
