DISCLOSURE REGARDING BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION (18 years & older)
Ronald McDonald House Charities of Kansas City, Inc. (“the Company”) may obtain information about you for employment/volunteer related purposes from a third party consumer reporting agency. Thus, you may be the subject of a “consumer report” and/or an “investigative consumer report” which may include information about your character, general reputation, personal characteristics, and/or mode of living, and which can involve personal interviews with sources such as your neighbors, friends, or associates. These reports may contain information regarding your credit history, criminal history, social security number validation, motor vehicle records (“driving records”), verification of your education or employment history, or other background checks. Credit history will only be requested where such information is substantially related to the duties and responsibilities of the position for which you are applying. You have the right, upon written request made within a reasonable time, to request whether a consumer report has been requested and compiled about you, and disclosure of the nature and scope of any investigative consumer report and to request a copy of your report. The scope of this notice and authorization is all-encompassing, however, allowing the Company to obtain from any outside organization all manner of consumer reports and investigative consumer reports now and throughout the course of your employment to the extent permitted by law. As a result, you should carefully consider whether to exercise your right to request disclosure of the nature and scope of any investigative consumer report.
