I certify that all answers given on my application are true to the best of my knowledge. I authorize the investigation of all matters contained in my application and hereby give the City of Enid and its consumer reporting agency, Sentry Link, Pre-Hire, and/or ADP Screening and Selection Services, permission to contact appropriate parties, and hereby release employer and its agent from all liability as a result of such contact. I hereby consent to allow the consumer reporting agency to conduct a National Criminal History Check on me, and to report the results of such a check to the City of Enid. I understand and authorize the release of such information to the City of Enid, Sentry Link, Pre-Hire, and ADP Screening and Selection Services.
I agree that the City of Enid may, at its sole discretion, deny me employment, if the information received in the National Criminal History Check is considered unfavorable by the City of Enid. Any offer of employment by the City of Enid is subject to and conditioned upon the City of Enid's review of such information.
In the event of an offer of employment, subsequent employment, or continuing employment, I understand that false, misleading or omitted information in my application shall be grounds for withdrawal of an offer of employment or discharge at any time. |
The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) governs the activities of consumer credit reporting agencies, as well as the users of the
information procured from these agencies. A consumer report contains information on a consumer’s (job applicant’s) character,
reputation, and other personal data. To screen job applicants, employers procure these reports. The City of Enid agrees to comply
with all aspects of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and any applicable Federal or State equal employment opportunity laws or
regulations.
Among other things, the FCRA prohibits employers from obtaining consumer reports unless the Employer discloses to the
applicant, in writing, that such a report may be acquired (see attachment). This disclosure must be in the form of a document that
consists solely of the disclosure that a consumer report may be obtained for employment purposes. This release must also state
that if the employer denies employment based on the information from a consumer reporting agency, the applicant may make a
written inquiry requesting a disclosure of the nature and scope of the investigation.
If an applicant makes such a request, the consumer reporting agency will supply a complete and accurate disclosure of the nature
and scope of the investigation within five days of the request. The credit reporting agency will reexamine any item the applicant
holds to be incorrect at no additional charge and, if necessary, supply a corrected report to the original requester. The consumer
reporting agency keeps copies of an investigation for a period of not less than one year.
If a consumer reporting agency or user of such information willfully fails to comply with FCRA requirements, the agency and its
agents are responsible to the subject of the report. The agency must comply with all regulations set forth by the FCRA.
In addition, any individual who knowingly and willfully obtains information from a consumer reporting agency under false
pretenses will be fined not more than $5000.00 and imprisoned not more than one year or both.
Sentry Link, Pre-Hire and ADP Screening and Selection Services comply with and support all provisions of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). We urge all employers and
applicants to review its restrictions and requirements. The Act’s citation is Public Law 91-508, Title 15, U.S.C. Sections 1681, et
seq. Please note, particularly the Permissible Purposes of Reports, as well as requirements on Users of Consumer Reports and
Obtaining Information Under False Pretenses.
By my initials below, I certify that I have read this release and consent form and understand all of its terms. I execute it voluntarily and with full knowledge of its
significance. |
