NewswireTODAY - /newswire/ - Chicago, IL, United States, 2010/06/03 - SafeScreener and the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce have come together to offer workshops covering the basics of background screening and the details of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

SafeScreener.com is pleased to announce they will be hosting free workshops for human resource professionals on the topics of Understanding Applicant Background Checks and Fair Credit Reporting Act Compliance. These free workshops are made possible by the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce and a grant from the Illinois Department of Human Services.

“We couldn’t be prouder to partner with the Chicago Chamber of Commerce in this capacity,” says Brad Jones, CEO of SafeScreener.com. “The Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce understands the importance of making this information available to human resource professionals and business owners. Serious liability is at stake, both civil and punitive, when dealing with Fair Credit Reporting Act compliance. Few HR directors are aware of all the rules they must follow when screening new applicants. I guarantee that any HR professional will walk away from these workshops with new vital insight on their screening processes and the law.”

Information on these and other free workshops available from the Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce Workplace Well-being and Prevention Practices Committee can be obtained by contacting Peggy Luce at 312.494.6745 or emailing pluce[.]chicagolandchamber.org/.
