Human Resources Compliance Breakfast Briefing and Webinar Series: Background Checks and Application Screenings (St. Cloud)
- Date
- 12/18/2012
Firm Event & Webinar
Presented by: GPM's Employment & Labor Practice Group
Please join us for our HR Compliance Breakfast Briefing series. Criminal background checks have become relatively quick and inexpensive and their use by employers in screening applicants continues to proliferate. Reports estimate that over 90% of employers rely on criminal background checks in making at least some of their hiring decisions. This has resulted in a growing group of ex-offenders who are unable to obtain employment. Because of this growing social epidemic, which statistically has an adverse impact upon minority groups, applicant screening and hiring practices are receiving greater scrutiny.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission recently issued guidance on discrimination arising out of the use of background investigations. Lawsuits by ex-offenders who were denied employment are also on the rise. While background checks are an excellent source of information when making important hiring decisions, employers need to make certain their practices comply with anti-discrimination, consumer reporting, privacy and other legal obligations.
