EEOC Plans Hearing on Criminal Histories

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is planning a major hearing on employer use of criminal histories on July 26.

The EEOC has been active this year in examining issues it believes result in a"disparate" impact on hiring decisions. The Commission held a hearing recently on the use of credit checks as an impediment to hiring.

NCISS will be working with other business groups to inform the Commission of the continuing need for access to criminal records. Last year this coalition was able to prevent enactment of legislation in Congress which would have limited the ability to obtain credit reports. NCISS has lobbied against restrictions that deny employers the information they need to make informed hiring decisions. We have also shared information with our business allies.

We will keep you informed as more information becomes available about the upcoming hearing.


Keeping the profession informed,
