Background Screening

The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is a federal law that governs how employers use consumer reports, including background checks. Non-compliance can result in costly lawsuits. Patriot ensures all screenings follow FCRA requirements including proper disclosures, authorizations, and adverse action procedures.

Most standard background checks are completed within 1-3 business days. Some searches, like county criminal records or education verifications, may take longer depending on the jurisdiction or institution response times.
