About the Program
Most employers undertake some type of background check before hiring an employee. Many background checks include obtaining information on a potential employee's credit history and whether the individual has any criminal convictions. Join Ford & Harrison attorney Craig Thorstenson for a free e-briefing discussing the legal risks when making hire decisions based on such information. Topics to be covered include:
-
The Illinois Employee Credit Privacy Act effective January 1, 2011
-
The EEOC's position on using criminal convictions when making hire decisions
-
How state law impacts the use of criminal convictions to make hire decisions
-
