HR Hero Audio Conference on CD and Streaming Audio
Presented by John B. Phillips, Jr. and Carolyne S. Beaty
July 26, 2007
With each CD purchase, you get FREE access to streaming audio. CD and streaming audio are available 3 days after each live event.
Even though the live seminar on this topic has already taken place, you can still hear it! For your convenience, we've recorded it on CD and audio stream, so you can listen when you have time or share it with colleagues in your organization.
Although background checks can provide protection against negligent hiring claims and help you be sure you're hiring honest and qualified employees, they also present risks.
But before you take the plunge, you've got to know the rules!
Learn all about background investigation pitfalls when you participate in the all-new audio conference, Background Checks: Follow the Rules, Know the Risks, Reap the Rewards.
Employment-labor law attorneys John B. Phillips, Jr., and Carolyne S. Beaty will walk you through real-life scenarios to show you exactly when background checks should be used in the hiring process, as well as the legal dos and don'ts when conducting an investigation.
In just 90 minutes, you'll get clear, hands-on answers to ALL your background check questions, including:
- What are the best practices for coordinating applications, interviews, reference checks, and background investigations to ensure an effective and legal hiring process?
- What jobs are "musts" for background checking?
- What should employers know about credit checks and the relationship to bankruptcy laws?
- Why not just “Google”?
- What horror stories can you avoid by conducting background checks?
- What must you know when working with a background check company – what the law refers to as a consumer-reporting agency?
- What's the difference between a "consumer report" and an "investigative consumer report"?
- What does HR need to know about the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) that may not be common knowledge? Anything new on FCRA?
- What are the exceptions to notification and authorization that are part of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act (FACTA), and what does FACTA require in terms of disposal of consumer reports? Are there new precedents or regulations that may not be common knowledge?
- What are the limits on background checks? What does the law say about how far an employer can go in investigating an applicant or employee?
- What kind of information should you steer away from even if it’s not unlawful to gather it? For example, it’s usually unwise to collect information on arrests and even misdemeanor convictions because of various state laws and EEOC and court concern over disparate impact. Also, it’s often problematic to include workers’ compensation information in background checks. Bankruptcies also may be a problem.
