When It Applies
When a report may change an employment decision
An adverse-action process may be needed when information in a background report contributes to a decision not to hire, promote, retain, or reassign a person. The employer makes the decision; IDC supports the related notice and case workflow.
A Guided Sequence: keep notices, timing, and status in one workflow.
Each stage stays connected to the report, candidate response, and next permitted action.
Review the case
Confirm the candidate, linked report, role, reason for review, and applicable procedure.
Send the pre-adverse notice
Review the recipient, report copy, Summary of Rights, and required notices before an authorized send.
Track the response window
Follow the recorded deadline, delivery status, candidate response, and any open dispute or hold.
Reassess and resolve
An authorized reviewer considers the full case before continuing, closing, or sending a final notice when permitted.

Fast, Compliant Screening Done Right
Candidate Response
Give the candidate a meaningful chance to respond
Candidates can review their report, share context or dispute an item, and have their response considered.
The candidate receives the notice and report materials needed to identify a possible error.
The candidate can explain or dispute report information. An open dispute holds the case before a final notice.
The case keeps the response and any report update visible to the authorized reviewer.
Human Decision
The decision stays with your team
Ready for Final means the case is ready for review, not that a decision has been made. Your authorized team decides what happens next.
ContinueMove forward when the concern is resolved.
Hold or review furtherKeep the case open when a response, dispute, or delivery issue needs attention.
Final noticeSend if the employer decides to take adverse action after the required steps.
Keep notices, delivery, candidate responses, reviewer actions, and the outcome together in the case record.
Program Controls
Set the right process for each program
Notice content and waiting requirements can vary by location and employer policy. Confirm requirements with counsel and configure the program before use. IDC can discuss how case status and notices connect to your broader screening workflow.
