Introduction from the Editor
In this edition of our monthly e-newsletter, we feature a letter sent to the EEOC from an incarcerated veteran concerned about gaining employment once released from prison. The response by the EEOC reiterates the three factors employers must look at when an applicant has a previous criminal record.
Our legal alert discusses two new California laws prohibiting employers from requiring job applicants to disclose previous criminal history on an employment application. California SB 530 was introduced by Assemblyman Roger Dickinson and would prohibit state and local government from requiring job applicants to disclose previous criminal history until later in the hiring process. California AB 218 would require public and private employers to remove the check box on their hiring applications which require applicants to disclose their previous criminal history.
Finally, our tip of the month addresses the question so many employers have: �Are background checks legal?�
Please forward our e-newsletter to friends and colleagues who may benefit from our published information.
Sincerely,
Cody Farzad,
Vice President/Editor
