Fidelifacts recommends that a written Disclosure/Authorization form, similar to the one
Fidelifacts can provide, be used when conducting your Background Employment Screening program.
A recent law suit under the FCRA claims that the use of an Electronic Signature on the Disclosure/Authorization violates the FCRA.
