	Background Checks: Best Practices & Legal Compliance

Does your application or hiring process include criminal background checks? Have you heard about the EEOC's new guidelines, but you don't understand how they fit into your background check process? After years of debate, the EEOC this year published controversial new guidance on employers' use of background-check policies and practices. Every employer needs to be in compliance. Pepsi thought it was. The company believed it was using background checks in a nondiscriminatory way. But the EEOC saw things differently and sued the company. The result: Pepsi just paid $3.2 million to settle an EEOC race-bias charge, and the company agreed to rewrite its background checking procedures. Don't wait for a lawsuit to make sure you're in compliance. It's vital—for your company and your career—to get in line now with the EEOC's Enforcement Guidance on the Consideration of Arrests and Conviction Records.
