Compliance, Release and Consent Forms

As an employer, you may use our employment screening reports to conduct background checks for potential hires as well as current employees as long as you comply with local State, Federal and Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requirements as it relates to the use of consumer information.

At ERS, we take compliance with the FCRA and hiring laws seriously, and work diligently to ensure that our screening clients understand and are kept abreast of all regulations. To that end, we have compiled the following documents to help you to understand what your responsibilities are when using employee data for employment screening purposes.
