Surcharges

What are they?

Some courthouses charge fees to conduct county felony and misdemeanor criminal searches. These fees are implied to cover their own internal expenses and are therefore outside of HireRight's control. HireRight does not mark up any of these fees; they are passed directly to you.

Do all states and courthouses charge fees?

About 1/3 of all counties have surcharges and the counties within each state vary (i.e. some will charge, some will not).

How much do they charge?

Fees can range from as little as $1 up to $65 (in the state of New York for example). If there is a surcharge, the average cost is about $5 per order.

To remain compliant, an Employer has 3 primary responsibilities under the FCRA:

Obtain an authorization and consent from the applicant before requesting the background check.
Offer a copy of the report to the applicant if the applicant resides in CA, MN, or OK.
If you are not hiring the applicant based on derogatory information in their background check and you are going to take "Adverse Action" (meaning you are not going to hire the person because of it), you are required to send a series of notifications/letters called Pre-Adverse/Adverse Letters.

To ensure 100% compliance and a clear understanding of the FCRA, the full FCRA document and requirements can be found on the FTC website at: http://www.ftc.gov/os/statutes/031224fcra.pdf.
