This week deverus is updating the notice on custom adverse/pre-adverse letters that different actions may be required depending on jurisdiction. Specifically, the "confirmation" checkbox has been removed, the "confirm" button updated to "continue", and the text has been updated from a certification to a notice.

New Text:

When taking an adverse employment action based upon criminal conviction history, some states and cities require an employer to provide certain additional notices and forms to the applicant, to engage in an interactive process with the applicant, and to provide written individualized assessments. These obligations can arise at various points during the adverse action process. Additionally, certain jurisdictions require an employer to identify the specific conviction which is potentially disqualifying. For your convenience, the letters listed above can be edited by you to identify specific disqualifying convictions and to make such other edits as may be required by any particular jurisdiction which may govern your decision to decline to hire an individual. Please consult with your legal counsel regarding compliance with those city and state laws that may regulate your hiring activities.

The updates will also be reflected when ordering a custom letter from the admin module.

We fixed an issue that was causing letter delivery to fail when users ordered pre/adverse letters on behalf of another HR users.

We made an update to the Work Number integration that will include the user that took action in the Work Number queue to move search into verified, verified with discrepancy or not verified.
