    Topic:       To Background Check, or Not to Background Check:

    Employers that fail to conduct background checks risk lawsuits when an employee causes harm.  Yet employers that do conduct background checks have been under attack by the U. S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and plaintiffs’ attorneys looking to create class actions out of technical violations of the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and state mini-FCRAs.  Add that to the growing list of states and cities with ban-the-box or related restrictions, and an employer’s headaches increase exponentially.  This session will offer practical strategies for conducting background checks.
