Know Your Rights

California law mandates that employers provide specific disclosures after conducting a background check on job applicants or employees. This ensures transparency, fairness, and compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and the California Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act (ICRAA). Employers must inform individuals about their rights and any adverse decisions made based on the background check results, allowing them the opportunity to dispute inaccurate information or explain any negative findings.
