Rights of Applicants Regarding Pre-Employment Screenings

 Of course there are laws in place to protect applicants from those who might want to misuse the information from a pre-employment screening for unscrupulous purposes. Whether you as the potential employer opt to do a background check on your own or whether you hire a company who specializes in pre-employment checks you need to ensure that the rights of your applicant are not violated in the process. Just a few of the laws, which protect your applicant, include:

• Age Discrimination in Employment Act
• Americas with Disabilities Act
• Drivers Privacy Protection Act
• Fair Credit Reporting Act
