Why Should You Attend:

Close to 90% of employers conduct background checks on some segment of their employees/job applicants. Conducting background checks is a normal part of business especially if you want to have a safe work environment and hire quality employees. Additionally, employers have the added pressure to ensure they avoid negligent hiring claims. Employers need to balance their concerns for hiring quality employees with compliance of fair hiring practices. The “Ban the Box” campaign has spread far and wide. It is not easy to navigate this landmine and stay within regulations.

What Should You Do If An Applicant Has A Criminal History? That really depends on many factors:

  • Is your company in one of the many ban the box states?
  • If not, what is your company’s philosophy and practice on the formerly incarcerated?
  • What are your company’s policies on criminal background screening?
  • Do you have an active policy on how you make decisions on hiring after there are criminal background convictions?

Employers need to be concerned about “not” considering candidates with criminal records in their employment pool as more states and employers “Ban the Box”. Additionally, If you are in one the Ban the Box states, the EEOC has “Guidance” that all Employers can use to avoid allegations of discrimination. It is critical for employers to be aware of which states have established laws eliminating this initiative which can impact them and have them at risk of violating the Title VII. Yes, employers can be sued! The objective of this course is to prepare employer’s in navigating the “Ban the Box” initiative by balancing the needs of the business with compliance of the regulations. The course will identify the process in selecting candidates based on the employee’s experience and qualification instead of prejudging them based on their conviction. In addition, Employers will understand the impact of federal and state regulations on criminal background screening and how to avoid violating discrimination regulations.
