From FCRA regulations to state laws and local ordinances, law and compliance play a critical role in background checks. Ensuring compliance may be the main reason you screen employees and candidates. As an employer, you have legal obligations when obtaining and using background checks, and ensuring you follow the various laws governing these processes is crucial.
