If a client refuses to employ an individual because of information in the report, what must you do?

• A. Notify the individual and provide your name and address
• B. Provide the client with a privacy waiver
• C. Delete the report
• D. Ignore the request

Answer: (A)

When a report could influence someone’s employment, you must be transparent about who produced it. You need to notify the individual and provide your name and address so they know who prepared the information and have a way to contact you if they need to verify or challenge what’s in the report. This accountability helps protect the subject’s rights and ensures accuracy in the process. Providing a privacy waiver isn’t required here, deleting the report would undermine record-keeping and due process, and ignoring the request would be unethical and potentially illegal.
