Gov. Jerry Brown recently signed sweeping "ban-the-box" legislation that, starting Jan. 1, prevents employers from asking applicants about conviction history on an initial application for employment. The bill's lead author, Assemblyman Kevin McCarty of Sacramento, said in a statement that it "will eliminate barriers to employment, reduce recidivism and give people with conviction histories an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to become productive, contributing members of our society."
....
Avery explains that employers can still deny employment based on a subsequent background check, but they need to be mindful of state and federal employment law if they decide to do so. Under 2012 U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) guidelines, and under similar rules adopted July 1 by the state's Department of Fair Employment and Housing, an employer can be found in violation of anti-discrimination law "if screening people based on criminal records is having disproportionate impact on people of color," she says.

Date: October 23rd, 2017 4:28 PM Author: dead violent depressive ""There are people who are struggling with old convictions not related to the job, but who are still being denied employment," Avery says. "But some people have really turned their lives around." "Others, of course," Avery went on, "will steal anything that isn't bolted down. But these are the chances you have to take." |

Date: October 23rd, 2017 4:35 PM Author: passionate pea-brained marketing idea candlestick maker Surprised at the backlash here. If the person has done their time, they've done their time. This would lessen the incentive for a criminal to continue criminal activity. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3772515&forum_id=2#34510988) |
|
Date: October 23rd, 2017 4:39 PM Author: dead violent depressive Keep in mind that in California it's illegal to hire felons for certain types of jobs. so it is literally either mandatory or forbidden - no middle ground.
Also this law is flat out retarded as written. You're allowed to say "you're hired! unless you have any criminal convictions - by the way do you?" In other words, you can hire subject to a criminal check, but you can't do a criminal check then decide whether to hire. |

Date: October 23rd, 2017 4:42 PM Author: passionate pea-brained marketing idea candlestick maker That prevents businesses from being prejudiced when making their initial evaluations and still let's them ultimately deny employment if it really bothers them that much. Seems like a decent comprise. I imagine if those who pushed for this change had their way entirely it would be forbidden at any point in the hiring process.
