Disclosure
Disclosure Requirements of Consumer Reports:
 
The consumer must be pre-notified by the employer (via a written, stand-alone document) that a consumer report is being obtained for employment purposes. Please note that notification language that appears on an application for employment is not acceptable. This document must be given to the consumer before the consumer report is requested from Secure Solutions. The consumer must provide his/her written authorization before the report is requested.
 
Note: The employer does not have to pre-notify or obtain written consent from the employee if the employee is under investigation for a violation of workplace security.
 
Disclosure Requirements of Investigative Consumer Reports:
 
If you use investigative consumer reports, you must:
 
•
 Disclose to the consumer that an investigative consumer report, including information as to his/her character, general reputation, personal characteristics, and mode of living, may be made. This disclosure must be in writing and mailed or otherwise delivered to the consumer not later than three days after the report was requested.
•
 The disclosure must also include a statement informing the consumer of his/her right to request additional disclosures regarding the nature and scope of the investigation requested.
•
 You must also provide a written summary of the consumer's rights as prescribed by the Federal Trade Commission.
 
If the consumer exercises his/her right to additional disclosure regarding the nature and scope of the investigation, the employer must make a complete and accurate disclosure of the nature and scope of the investigation. This additional disclosure shall be made in writing and mailed or otherwise delivered to the consumer not later than five days after the date the request for additional disclosure was received or the date the report was first requested, whichever is the latter.

If you are unable to obtain a consumer report without an authorization, previous law is now amended to say that: An employer may no longer order or use an investigative consumer report for retention or promotion purposes without the consumer's written authorization.
