Need to Know

\n \n

Ban-The-Box Legislation

\n \n \n \n\n
\n\n \n
\n\n\n

The grassroots ban-the-box campaign aims to improve the odds of finding employment for people with criminal records by removing the question that asks about criminal convictions from employment applications.

\n\n\n\n

Ban-the-box laws typically don’t forbid employers from inquiring about an applicant’s criminal history or from running background checks. However, they can affect the timing of background checks and can make complying with the FCRA-mandated adverse action process trickier.
