Is Your Criminal Background Check Policy Consistent with the EEOC's Updated Guidance? – Free Webinar – June 7

Presented by Fisher & Phillips

On April 25, 2012, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued updated guidance on the use of criminal background checks in employment entitled, "Enforcement Guidance on the Consideration of Arrest and Conviction Records in Employment Decisions Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964." The EEOC has indicated that it will use its enforcement authority to investigate cases of disparate treatment and disparate impact related to criminal background check policies. Your Company may already have, or is considering implementing, a criminal background check policy to screen applicants or employees with certain criminal histories.

The labor and employment attorneys from Fisher & Phillips LLP will present a webinar, on two separate dates, that will give you the tools you need to re-evaluate your present policy or develop a new one. Although there is no "one-size fits all" or "model" criminal background policy suitable for all employers, this webinar will address the issues you need to consider when developing a new criminal background check policy.

These hour long webinars are free, but registration is required. Once your registration is complete you will receive an email confirmation with instructions on how to join the webinar. Participation in this webinar has been approved for one hour of HRCI credit.

If you perform criminal background checks as part of your interview and hiring process, take the time to tune in!
