Background checks are legally defined as "Consumer Reports" or in some cases, "Investigative Consumer Reports," and are governed by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, as well as various state laws. It is imperative that you understand the requirements these laws place on you when you use consumer reports for employment decisions.
