Description

The consumer investigative release form is designed for applicants seeking employment, granting permission for potential employers to obtain investigative consumer reports. This form aligns with the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and outlines the types of information that may be included in the reports, such as criminal history, employment verification, and credit reports. Specifically in Ohio, adherence to relevant case laws ensures that applicants' rights are protected during the background check process. Key features of the form include explicit consent from the applicant, provision for notifications in case of adverse actions based on the consumer report, and a clause releasing entities from liability related to information shared. Filling out the form requires an applicant's signature and date, with the option for revocation of consent under certain conditions. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, enabling them to ensure legal compliance while managing employment eligibility processes. Users should carefully review all instructions for clarity and completeness to safeguard both their interests and those of the employers.
