Are You Ready for the Compliance Challenges of 2020?

New decade, new challenges! Much is coming down the pike for human resources professionals, recruiters, and others involved in background screening and hiring. Several areas—from drug policies to hiring adjudication—are heating up, with significant legislative and regulatory changes, new legal precedents, and updated guidance from key agencies.

In today’s environment, where one misplaced semi-colon on a disclosure form can cause problems, it’s important to keep up with the latest developments. And Asurint is here to help!

We are hosting a free Top 5 Background Screening Trends for 2020 webinar on Tuesday January 30th at 12:00 p.m. EST.

It’s a busy time of year, but it’s worth setting aside about an hour for this informative discussion, led by Asurint General Counsel and Professional Background Screening Association Secretary/Treasurer Kelly Uebel. Participants will gain insights into topics like the following:

• Could your company be vulnerable to a multimillion-dollar judgment in a negligent hiring lawsuit? What types of protections are gaining traction in the industry?
• How does your organization’s drug free or zero tolerance workplace policy hold up in today’s shifting legal landscape for marijuana?
• Are your hiring policies in alignment with the influx of “second chance” reforms restricting when and what candidates can be asked about criminal history?
• Will stepped-up enforcement efforts by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Federal Trade Commission affect you?
• Did you know there was a 100% increase in Fair Credit Reporting Act lawsuits in the past decade? How can you ensure compliance?

These are just a few of the emerging issues to be covered. From pre-adverse and adverse action notifications to considerations for part-time, temporary, seasonal, and contracted staff, an array of compliance subjects will influence background search, hiring, and broader HR policies in 2020. And ignorantia juris non excusat—ignorance of the law is no excuse from liability.

So find out what you need to know to navigate the coming year. Register for free to receive the webinar link and accompanying whitepaper.

We’ll also be supplying a recording of the event to registered participants, which they are welcome to share with internal teams and colleagues. But it’s definitely worth participating LIVE on January 30th to get all your specific questions answered.
