Background Screening Assumptions
Background checks provide all criminal records
All names included National database is
complete Fingerprint will tell us
everything

Fair Credit Reporting Act Applies to all forms of
background screening if using CRA
Protects consumers Requires use of “up-to-date”
information One click criminal database
searches NOT compliant Verify information with
court of record Does NOT apply to
volunteers

FCRA Limitations Limits arrest/ non-
conviction report to 7 years; unless
Salary is $75K or above
No limit on convictions
![Page 9: How far back should background checks go?](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481e69eb079596a0c8b463f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
EEOC Requirements Limits use of non-convictions Conviction alone is not
enough 3 pronged approach:
Nature of crime & time since committed
Position sought How crime impacts position
![Page 10: How far back should background checks go?](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481e69eb079596a0c8b463f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
State Law Restrictions States can further
restrict FCRA 12 states restrict
reporting of criminal records to 7 years;
7 of those states only restrict if salary is $20K or less
![Page 11: How far back should background checks go?](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481e69eb079596a0c8b463f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why Do We Have 7 Year Rule? FCRA was amended in
1998 to remove 7 year limit on convictions
State restrictions for employment
Why does 7 yr rule exist when majority of states have no restrictions?

Additional Issues Impacting Reporting States destroying
misdemeanor records after 10 years
Expungement Sealed Juvenile Record Archived
Varies by state & even county

So how far back should background checks go?
As far back as possible Complete picture of
applicant Compare to
application: dishonesty always grounds for denial
Laws and restrictions do not apply to volunteers
![Page 14: How far back should background checks go?](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061206/5481e69eb079596a0c8b463f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Volunteers No restrictions on
volunteers Can report all arrests,
non-convictions & convictions
We create employment & volunteer packages so we know if record is reportable
