Employer Background Check Violations

Summary

If an employer does not provide required notices during pre-adverse and adverse actions related to a background check, you may have recourse under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). You can file a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and consider consulting with an employment attorney for potential legal action. If a drug test conducted through a CRA specifies MRO review, the employer should follow FCRA regulations, including proper MRO review and providing pre-adverse and adverse action notices. You might have a strong case for procedural violations.

I took a pre employment drug test which was conducted by a 3rd party cra orange tree. The test was (quest diagnostics 22301n-sap-* with mro) but states its unregulated. With the test being unregulated but protocol specifically stating it goes to mro but in my case they were not sent to the mro do i have any legal basis to dispute in terms of chain of custody or is it legal to not send to the mro in unregulated test when protocol states it gets mro review.
To clarify your situation, could you let me know if the job offer was rescinded based on the drug test results? This will help in assessing if there was a potential Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) violation regarding notice requirements and potential disputes over the chain of custody.
I believe so but i have been provided no information from employer. The test results came back as negative dilute. There was no drugs in the sample. As im not a drug user. Not any pre adverse or post adverse action letters no chance to dispute. Ive emailed the employer and called, no attempts to return communication have been made.
It appears you may have a strong case under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) for not receiving pre-adverse or adverse action notices. Additionally, there might be procedural violations regarding the chain of custody for your drug test.

Can you provide any information on how a unregulated drug screen that specifically stated review by mro is supposed to be handled?
Generally, for unregulated drug screens specifying MRO review:
- The MRO (Medical Review Officer) should review the results to ensure accuracy.
- Failure to involve an MRO, as specified, could be a procedural violation.
- Employers must follow their stated protocols.

an unregulated pre-employment drug screen with MRO review must follow FCRA regulations if conducted through a CRA, involve a licensed physician as an MRO who verifies results, and adhere to state-specific laws regarding marijuana testing. The MRO's role is to ensure the accuracy, integrity, and confidentiality of the drug testing process, and the process can take up to two weeks to complete. How accurate is this info.
Your summary is quite accurate. Here are the key points:
- FCRA Regulations: If conducted through a Consumer Reporting Agency (CRA), it must follow FCRA regulations.
- MRO Involvement: A licensed physician as an MRO verifies test results.
- State Laws: Must adhere to state-specific laws regarding marijuana testing.
- MRO Role: Ensures accuracy, integrity, and confidentiality.
- Processing Time: Can take up to two weeks.

Pre employment drug screen in indiana that is unregulated but also specifically states mro review. Is there any legal requirement for unregulated drug screen stating mro review has to legally be reveiwed by mro?
In Indiana, for an unregulated pre-employment drug screen that specifies MRO review, there is no specific legal requirement for the MRO review unless it is through a CRA and thus subject to FCRA regulations. However, if the employer's protocol states MRO review, they are generally expected to follow it.
