Don’t Drop the Ball on FCRA Compliance​
 
When employers use consumer reports to make employment decisions, they must comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

We will help you understand the necessary steps to ensure compliance – prior to and after obtaining a consumer report – and how best to defend against claims under the FCRA.
