Background

Checks: Top

10 Do's and

Don’ts

Find the most effective ways to perform a

background check and what legal restrictions may

apply. An ever increasing number of employers are

recognizing the benefits that can be derived from

conducting background checks on both current and

prospective employees. While background checks

can be an effective tool for weeding out

questionable employees, legal limitations on how

such checks can be performed (and how the

resulting data discovered can be used) must be

understood or otherwise an employer will find

itself defending against its own illegal actions.

Review the kinds of background checks that can be

conducted by employers, and likewise address the

various legal restrictions (primarily under federal

and state law) applicable to performing background

checks, and related limitations placed on how

acquired background information can be legally

used for the benefit of the employer.

Writing Job

Descriptions

Receive strategies on how to write an accurate job

description and how to avoid the various legal

pitfalls. If the employer does not have an adequate

written job description before the employee is

hired, it may face liability for disability

discrimination and failure to accommodate,

interference with FMLA rights, and increased

workers compensation costs. This topic will explain

how to identify essential functions and write

effective job descriptions that can be used to limit

the risk of liability.

Health Information

Exchange

Understand the Health Information Exchange

and recent amendments and legislation that

impact the HIE. The material also explains the

specific requirements of such consent forms,

including those that have gone into effect as a

result of amendments to 42 CFR Part 2.

Failing to have compliant and effective

policies, procedures and documentation (i.e.,

consent forms) continues to be a shortcoming

of many entities connecting to networked HIE

initiatives. Noncompliance has resulted in

many recent HIPAA enforcement actions

taken by the OCR which have led to millions

of dollars collected in HIPAA settlement

agreements.

counsel, supervisors, and business leaders

must constantly balance business needs and

the requirements of the FMLA. will walk

through, step by step, how businesses and
