Employment Research Services (ERS) complies implicitly with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Driver.s Privacy Protection Act, all other federal laws and all state and local laws.

ERS is legally permitted under Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), 15 U.S.C. . 1681 et seq., section . 604 to provide investigative reports (consumer reports) to legitimate business for the purpose of employment.

ERS closely follows revisions and changes to the laws governing background investigations, public records and drug testing. We maintain standards that fall well within the guidelines set by the law.

We do not report cases under title 11 (U.S.C.) or under the bankruptcy act that were disposed more than ten years before the date of the report. We do not report civil suits, civil judgments, paid tax liens, arrest records, collections, or any other adverse information, other than criminal convictions, that occurred more than seven years before the date of the report.

Consumer reports are only completed after the subject of the report has read and acknowledged understanding of his/her rights, and has signed an authorization form allowing ERS to complete investigations and to produce a consumer report.
