The Checkr Compliance team has authored an article discussing the process of adverse action in hiring, which includes providing written pre- and post-adverse action notices to candidates who may be disqualified from consideration based on background check results. The article highlights various state and local laws that impact the adverse action process, including "Ban the Box" or fair chance hiring laws, ordinances, or regulations adopted by over 180 jurisdictions. These laws vary in their requirements, such as providing specific information about the candidate's right to dispute incorrect information, the waiting period before a final decision, and the opportunity for candidates to provide additional information. The article also provides an overview of additional state and local laws applicable to adverse action requirements that may apply to operations. It emphasizes the importance of working with legal counsel to ensure compliance with these evolving laws and recommends using background check partners like Checkr to support fair hiring and regional compliance while enhancing team efficiency.
