Course Overview

Trends, legal updates & best practices to know before you hire.

Background checks are subject to always changing laws and regulations. Recently, there has been an increase of class action lawsuits based on allegations that employers failed to comply with certain aspects of the laws/regulations. Let us not forget about COVID-19, as it too has had a resulting impact on the background verification industry. During this live webinar, Attorney Scott Paler, frequent industry presenter on this topic, will cover COVID-19 related topics as well as the compliance essentials that every employer should know before screening, including:

✓ Potential compliance vulnerabilities for employers

✓ New laws & how they impact pre-employment screening processes

✓ Trends in the enforcement of compliance and laws

✓ Best practices to stay ahead of the curve
