1. Standalone disclosure
Before an employer requests an HOD Report for employment purposes, it must give you a clear and conspicuous written disclosure, in a document that consists solely of that disclosure, stating that a consumer report may be obtained for employment purposes. The disclosure may not include a liability waiver or unrelated terms.
2. Written authorization
The employer must obtain your written authorization, which may be signed electronically under our E-Sign Consent. Hub or Dub does not furnish an employment-purpose report until the employer certifies that it made the disclosure, obtained authorization, and will comply with the FCRA and applicable equal employment opportunity laws.
3. Certification before every run
Each employment-purpose run requires a fresh certification by the verified business. Runs without a certification are blocked.
4. Before and after adverse action
If the employer may take adverse action based in whole or in part on the report, it must first give you a copy of the report and the CFPB Summary of Your Rights, and allow a reasonable period to respond. See Adverse Action Notices.
5. State law
Some states and cities add requirements, including limits on the use of credit information, salary history, and criminal history, and additional notice periods. Employers are responsible for complying with the rules where the applicant lives and works.
