FCRA

We currently provide the summary of rights to applicants who are not hired due to a background check issue. A question has come up whether just posting the Summary of Rights in the reception area would still maintain compliance of this regulation or whether it is a requirement that this summary of rights be given to the individual.

If solely based on credit info, the FCRA states, "Before taking any adverse action, the employer must provide the applicant/employee with a copy of the consumer report, notification that the employer is considering taking adverse action based on the report, and a detailed summary of the individual's rights under the FCRA." To be on the safe side, I would say that a posting is not enough.
