From the Editor's Desk

In this edition of our monthly e-newsletter we discuss how employers are dealing with a new issue that affects both their ability to hire qualified applicants and maintain a discrimination free hiring process.

As of October 27, 2015, employers in New York may no longer inquire about an applicant’s previous criminal history on the employment application.

Finally, our tip of the month focuses on 4 mistakes employers make when screening employees instantly.

Please forward our e-newsletter to friends and colleagues who may benefit from our published information.

Sincerely,

e-sig
Cody Farzad,
Vice President/Editor
