In compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act, this document is being provided to notify you that the City of Oakwood may obtain consumer reports and/or investigative consumer reports (i.e. background checks) on you in considering your employment application, or if you are hired or are already employed by the City, for any permitted employment related purpose during your employment with the City.

The “investigative consumer report” that the City may obtain from a consumer reporting agency contains information which may be used to establish eligibility for employment, promotion, reassignment, or continued employment with the City and includes verification on your education , former employers, motor vehicle check, and felony and related misdemeanor record. It can also include information related to credit-worthiness, credit standing, credit capacity, general reputation, personal characteristics, or mode of living. This information may be obtained through personal interviews with former employers, acquaintances, co-workers, or others with whom you may be acquainted, which makes the report an “investigative” consumer report. This does not include information the City obtains on its own without the aid of a third party.

By signing below, I authorize the City of Oakwood and any consumer reporting agency acting on behalf of the City to investigate my employment history, educational history, criminal history, and other records necessary to aid in employment-related decisions. I understand that this is considered either a consumer report or an investigative consumer report as described above. I acknowledge that the City has provided me a copy of the written disclosure (this document), and I have read this document before signing it.
