NOTICE OF CERTIFICATION OF CLASS ACTION

DAVID K. HELWIG, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated

CONCENTRIX CORPORATION

United States District Court, Northern District of Ohio, Case No. 1:20-cv-920

NOTICES WERE SENT TO THOSE WHO APPLIED FOR EMPLOYMENT WITH CONCENTRIX CORPORATION ("CONCENTRIX") AND CONCENTRIX OBTAINED A BACKGROUND REPORT AND MAY HAVE DENIED YOU EMPLOYMENT BASED ON THAT REPORT BETWEEN APRIL 29, 2018 THROUGH MARCH 20, 2024.

This lawsuit alleges that Concentrix did not comply with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (“FCRA”) when it used background checks for job applicants. If you are a Class Member, Concentrix obtained and/or relied on your background check in connection with your application for employment with Concentrix. The suit alleges that Concentrix violated your rights under a federal law – the FCRA – in the manner in which it communicated to you about your background check for employment purposes.

If you are a Class Member, you applied for employment with Concentrix and Concentrix obtained a background report and may have denied you employment based on that report. Specifically, the Court certified the following Class: “All persons within the United States (including all territories and other political subdivisions of the United States): (a) who were the subject of a consumer report furnished to Concentrix from April 29, 2018 through March 20, 2024; (b) who received an email or letter from Concentrix containing the “no longer being considered” language (or a substantively close approximation thereof); and (c) against whom Concentrix took adverse employment action based in whole or in part on the consumer report without allowing a chance to address the report.”

Your legal rights are affected whether you act or don’t act. Read this notice carefully.

Important Court Documents

WHY DID I RECEIVE THIS NOTICE?

This notice is provided pursuant to an order issued by the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio (the “Court”).

WHAT IS THIS LAWSUIT ABOUT?

The Plaintiff is seeking an order requiring Concentrix to pay damages to each Class Member. The lawsuit will determine whether and to what extent Concentrix has liability to pay these damages.
