Abstract: In recent years, there has been an increased legal, scientific, and regulatory interest in how employers consider a job applicant’s criminal history and credit history when making employment decisions. This presentation will begin with a discussion of why employers conduct background checks, move to a review of the relevant case law pertaining to the use of applicants’ criminal and credit history, and finish with a discussion of methods to “validate” background checks. To spice things up, audience opinion will be sought on such controversial topics as:
* Are job-relatedness and business necessity the same thing?
* Is adverse impact determined at the overall background screen level or must it be shown for each element of the background screen (e.g., each crime, each exclusionary period)?
* Are all ex-cons the same or does job-relatedness/business necessity depend on the specific crime?
* Would Judge Judy agree with the EEOC?
