Employers will be required to obtain a signed authorization PRIOR to the conducting of ANY type of background investigation. This release must be a document separate from the application itself. For instance, a Credit Report must have a separate authorization page, a Criminal Inquiry must have a separate authorization page, as well as a Motor Vehicle record. Forms are available on this website.
Our belief is that the Federal Trade Commission feel applicants are less likely to read the content of a release that is buried within a application form.
OUT OF STATE CRIMINAL RECORDS MAY EXCEED THE ABOVE TIME PERIOD.
