Our Goal is Your Protection

Scott-Roberts and Associates, LLC is in full compliance with the governing standards in our industry. The list below contains some governing Acts, organizations and laws with which Scott-Roberts complies:

Fair Credit Reporting Act Compliance

The Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) is designed to protect individuals by promoting accuracy, fairness, and privacy of information in the files of every Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA). Most CRAs are credit bureaus that gather and provide information about individuals - such as if they pay their bills on time or have filed bankruptcy - to creditors, employers, and landlords. Companies that perform pre-employment screening services, such as Scott-Roberts and Associates, LLC  are also governed by the FCRA, as are the employers that employ Scott-Roberts and Associates for background screening services.

FCRA compliance information and online templates of all letters and forms necessary to comply with FCRA employment background screening requirements are provided, including:

• Applicant Disclosure and Consent forms
• Adverse Action letters
• Summary of Consumer Rights

Americans with Disabilities Act Compliance

Scott-Roberts and Associates complies with the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), which prohibits employers from discriminating against people with disabilities who are qualified to perform essential job functions.

California Consumer Credit Law Compliance

Scott-Roberts and Associates complies  with the California Consumer Credit Law (Speier Act), which restricts the reporting of age, marital status, race, color or creed on employment reports for consumers that have a current California address.

Compliance with Canadian Reporting Regulations

Scott-Roberts and Associates conforms to the provisions of the Canadian Privacy Act with regard to the protection of applicant information for employment screening purposes. The forms required for applicant consent for criminal, credit and driving records reporting as defined by the Ministry of Transportation (MOT), the Canadian Police Information Centre (CPIC) and governing bodies of the individual Canadian provinces and territories (e.g. provincial departments of motor vehicles) are available upon request.
