NAPBS Presents On May 23 A Very Important EEOC Webinar Presentation
New EEOC Guidance: What Employers Need to Know about the Use of Criminal Records in the Hiring Process
Presented by Garen E. Dodge, Partner in the Washington, D.C. Region office of Jackson Lewis LLP
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has approved, by a 4-1 vote, a revised Enforcement Guidance on the Consideration of Arrest and Conviction Records in Employment Decisions under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Guidance was effective immediately. Before disqualifying an individual with a criminal record from employment, the Commission emphasizes, employers should engage in an individualized assessment involving a dialogue with that individual. While the Guidance states that employers would not violate Title VII if they disqualify an applicant based on separate federal restrictions on the employment of persons with criminal records, an employer may not defend a decision to disqualify an individual solely on state restrictions on the hiring of persons with criminal records.
Plan to attend this very important NAPBS Government Relations sponsored Member webinar.
Wednesday, May 23, 2012 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT
