Adverse action overview
What to do after a records-found report: proceed with no case, or open adverse action and follow the notice steps.
Individualized assessment worksheet
Save the assessment before a pre-adverse notice. New York uses eight factors, and a certificate is a presumption of rehabilitation.
Send a pre-adverse notice
The pre-adverse email includes the report, the Summary of Rights, location notices, and a link for the candidate to respond.
The waiting period and candidate responses
Business days, candidate replies, and disputes control when a final notice can be sent. A dispute extends the clock.
Send the final notice
The final notice names ScreenForge Labs, gives the 60-day copy right, and stays blocked until the waiting period ends.
Disputes explained
ScreenForge Labs opens and closes a dispute. PreHireBadge extends the waiting period by the business days it was open.
Withdraw or cancel an adverse action
Withdraw cancels an open case and marks the candidate hired. It is available until the case is already finished.
