Checking Employees Out

Thanks to be Spacific for a link to a publication by the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, Small Business Employment Background Checks, which is certainly timely given yesterday's note about increased liability for employers who don't adequately check out prospective employees. One of the challenges is complying with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, a name that has become almost deceptive, since it applies to far more than credit histories, and is something that every employer needs to know about.
