ABOUT THE EVENT

Companies are understandably concerned about the safety of their workers and customers as well as their own assets and public image. But today, many employers are finding that the best approach to hiring individuals with criminal backgrounds is not so different from the hiring approach they use for everyone else: to evaluate each candidate on his or her merits. However, many Employers are considering reducing or eliminating the criminal background screening process. This is a mistake and could result in negligent hiring. Before hiring a job candidate, screening the applicant’s background helps employers make safe and well-informed decisions about whether they will be trustworthy and competent employees.

Criminal background check guide

Criminal background checks are often part of this process and may even be required for new hires if your company is in certain regulated industries or serves vulnerable populations, such as children, the elderly, or the disabled. You might have missed it, but the prohibition against employers with federal contracts asking about a job applicant's criminal history—part of a defense funding bill signed in late 2019—took effect in the last days of 2021 Different searches might produce different records. For example, if an employer only searches a state’s criminal records repository, the employer will only receive information about any convictions and arrests that are contained in the state’s criminal justice system. Employers might instead elect to complete nationwide searches to find criminal record information from multiple states or perform searches in every county and state where an applicant has lived. But what happens when Employers use social media in their screening process?

Why You Should Attend:

Employers who use criminal records in their hiring decisions need to be aware of applicable federal and state laws. Additionally, the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) governs how employers obtain and handle consumer reports, which include standard background checks. Legal compliance with these laws is key when considering formerly incarcerated applicants for hire. Many Employers are considering reducing or eliminating the criminal background check due to the labor shortages.
