From the Editor's Desk

In this edition of our monthly e-newsletter we discuss the who, what, where, when, and why of employment background screening.

It appears that automaker BMW will need to defend claims brought by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) that the criminal records used by BMW to screen employees are unfair to African Americans.

Finally, our tip of the month addresses obligations set forth in The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) which states that a Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA) may not provide a report for employment purposes unless and until it receives certain certifications from the end-user (employer).

Please forward our e-newsletter to friends and colleagues who may benefit from our published information.

Sincerely,

e-sig
Cody Farzad,
Vice President/Editor
