When obtaining background or credit reports, the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) requires employers to provide the applicant or employee with a disclosure of their right to obtain a copy of the report, and obtain written authorization before requesting the reports. Although the authorization may be on the same page as the disclosure, no other information may be present.
