Excellent Reference Guide, 2007-04-15
If you haven't already read the previous 2 reviews, please do so. I won't reiterate the good things that were already said. However, the information provided by Mr. Nadell was more than sufficient enough for me to successfully start a 2nd business as a pre-employment and tenant backgound check service. Thank you Mr. Nadell for clarifying the FCRA statutes for the layman.

Covers: the FCRA (Fair Credit Reporting Act), with statutes, rules; FTC (Federal Trade Commission) relating to background checks; steps to take before performing a background check, including examples of disclosure forms that violate the law; workplace investigations; electronic signatures; adverse action; timeframes & accuracy of reports; Megan's Law (sex offenders/child molesters); FirstAlert; Social Security Trace; Motor Vehicle Report; References; Credit Reporting; Education Verification; Military Service; Civil Records; Workers' Compensation records; Liens & Judgments; current/past criminal warrants & drug rehab records.
Next, "'7 Free Steps Any Employer Can Take Immediately', to protect against making a bad hire." How to get good information on an employment application, with an example included.
THEN, after all that in the first 45 pages, it covers state-by-state "laws regarding pre-employment inquiries, fingerprinting, fair credit, labor & employment, privacy, civil rights, & background screening involving children, financial institutions, law enforcement"...& details specific state guidelines, cited specifically & including statute number, & searches available in each state.
Page 131 starts with states with drug testing laws & specifics of those laws, then finishes with "Critical Definitions" (glossary); summary of your (employers') rights; legal notices; summaries of applicable governmental entities & Acts (OSHA; FCRA; FMLA; RA; EPPA; ERISA; FLSA; ADEA; ADA; DPPA; EEOC).
Overall, 'Sleuthing 101' is definitely a MUST HAVE for anyone in the information specialist, investigative, small business owner fields & I'm glad I ordered this gem & have it in my personal library. I foresee using it often.
