Pre-Adverse Action Notice Form - Digital | WWC

Companies that outsource background investigations as part of the hiring process are required to comply with various notice requirements imposed by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). When a background investigation includes a consumer report, the individual subject to the investigation has a legal right to dispute any unfavorable findings. If a consumer report includes findings that could adversely impact the job candidate’s eligibility for employment or promotion, the hiring employer is required under the FCRA to provide a pre-adverse action notice to the affected candidate. The notice must be accompanied by a copy of the consumer report and the mandatory “A Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act” Notice.  

Our digital, attorney-reviewed Pre-Adverse Action Notice Form complies with FCRA notice requirements for informing a job candidate that their consumer report includes unfavorable findings or discrepancies from their job application. The hiring employer must provide the notice before taking an adverse action, such as rescinding a job offer or disqualifying the job candidate from the hiring process. After the candidate receives the notice, the employer must provide a reasonable waiting period (typically five days) before communicating their final decision to the candidate. This waiting period allows the candidate to contest the unfavorable items on the consumer report.
