Onin Staffing has agreed to pay up to $350,000 to settle claims the company’s background checks violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).

The class includes all Onin Staffing applicants and employees in the United States who were subject to and harmed by adverse employment actions after Onin Staffing accessed their background report, but were not notified that the company was accessing the report, and were not given a copy of the report, at any point between April 4, 2017, and March 23, 2022. Adverse employment actions include but are not limited to:

  • Failure to hire
  • Wrongful termination
  • Wrongful dismissal
  • Wrongful reassignment

Each class member is eligible to receive around $483 form the Onin Staffing FCRA settlement.

According to Bobby Lee Miles Jr., who filed the Onin Staffing FCRA class action settlement, the company did not follow legal procedure when pulling background checks of employees and applicants to the company.

The Onin Staffing class action lawsuit explains the FCRA requires employers to notify employees and potential employees when the company pulls their background report, and to provide a copy of the report. Allegedly, Onin Staffing failed to provide a notice that a background report was being pulled, and failed to provide a copy of the report.

Onin Staffing is the industrial and light clerical staffing division of The Onin Group, based in Birmingham, Alabama.

The company does not admit to any wrongdoing in regards to these claims, but has agreed to settle the Onin Staffing background checks class action lawsuit in the interest of avoiding the continued costs and risks of litigation. 

Class members are invited to attend a final fairness hearing in the Onin Staffing background checks class action settlement on Dec. 16, 2022.

The deadline to submit a claim for benefits or to request exclusion from the settlement is Aug. 29, 2022.
