VIDEO SUMMARY:

Attorney Amy Cramer discusses common misunderstandings about background check regulations in Illinois and at the federal level among corporate and nonprofit clients. In Illinois, an individual must be offered a job before a background check can be conducted. Various forms, including a disclosure form and a rights form, need to be filled out. A reputable company should then perform the background check. If the results are clear, hiring proceeds normally. If not, a pre-adverse action notice is issued, allowing the candidate to provide mitigating documentation. Employers must analyze if the candidate poses a threat and document their decision-making process. If disqualified, a final adverse action notice is sent to the individual, who can address the information on their record with respective agencies.
