Home Depot Failed to Provide Standalone Disclosure Document, Job Applicant Claims
Last Updated on May 8, 2018
Hamilton v. Home Depot U.S.A., Inc.
Filed: October 20, 2017 ◆§ 8:17-cv-02468-JSM-TBM
An FCRA class action claims Home Depot did not provide certain information on the use of background checks for job purposes in a standalone document.
A Florida man who applied for a job with Home Depot U.S.A., Inc. has filed a proposed class action against the company alleging it violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) by failing to provide a mandatory disclosure pertaining to the use of background reports for employment purposes in a standalone document. The complaint claims the plaintiff applied for a job with the defendant in June 2016 for which he was provided an FCRA disclosure about the use of his background report that unlawfully included “extraneous provisions.”
“The FCRA forbids this practice,” the lawsuit charges, “since it mandates that all forms granting the authority to access and use consumer report information for employment purposes be ‘stand-alone forms’ that do not include any additional agreements."
