What's On Your Summer Reading List?

Welcome to summer! It's that time of year for outdoor fun in the sun. And some inspirational reading to help your business or non-profit become more proactive. A Must Read Before Mid-June! What are ban-the-box laws, and what do they mean for your organization? The “box” refers to the question on job application forms that ask applicants whether or not they have ever been convicted of a crime. Ban-the-box laws require employers to remove this question—as well as any other queries about criminal history—from job applications. Employers should review their job applications to ensure compliance by the mid-June 2019 effective date.

Note that new ban-the-box laws are being implemented regularly at this point, both as state or county laws and as city ordinances. In many spots, these laws apply only to public government positions; elsewhere, they apply to both private and public employers.
