HRLF January Program: Montserrat C. Miller

HRLF Welcomes January Speaker: Montserrat C. Miller

As HR professionals deal with the increasing complex challenges the use of predictive analytics and social media in hiring practices, it is crucial that we are mindful of lessons learned.

Plaintiffs’ class action attorneys are successfully pursuing claims against employers nationwide for failing to properly follow the background check process under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act. In order to protect your corporate reputation, it is important to understand today’s legal and compliance environment and also consider what the future holds for employee background screening, including the use of social media in the process. This presentation will cover:

• How the FCRA applies to employers and their use of background checks;
  
• Status of FCRA pre-employment screening class action lawsuits against employers and lessons learned;
  
• Best practices for employers when developing and implementing polices for the use of credit records, criminal histories and social networking sites in hiring decisions and steps to take to avoid exposure and liability; and
  
• What does the future hold for employment screening – big data, predictive analytic and scoring, social media, safeguarding employee data.
