What Rights Do Consumers Have against False Employment Reports?

Fortunately, the law regulates both the companies that sell employment reports as well as the employers who use them. The law protects consumers in the following ways:

• Requires that employment reports meet the standard of maximum possible accuracy
• Requires employers to get a consumer’s permission before obtaining a background report
• Requires employers to provide to the consumer a copy of the report and a summary of their FCRA rights before taking adverse action (such as not hiring an applicant or firing an employee)
• Requires employers to notify consumers when a job is denied or terminated due to an employment report
• Permits consumers to review and dispute inaccurate information in an employment report
