Vons May Be Failing to Provide Standalone Disclosures
In order to obtain a background check/consumer report, federal and state law require an employer to provide a standalone disclosure that is clear and conspicuous.
Our lawsuit argues that Vons failed to comply with this requirement because the disclosure was contained in the middle of a job application with lots of other information. As a result, the lawsuit alleges that job applicants did not understand the disclosures and were not aware that Vons would be obtaining background checks on them.
The intent of the federal and state laws is to allow job applicants a meaningful opportunity to consent to having a background check obtained. Our lawsuit argues that as a result of Vons’s failure to provide a standalone disclosure, job applicants and employees were denied this opportunity.
