FAQ
Depending on where you live, there may be ways to conceal your criminal record from background checks, such as through expungement or sealing. These processes and eligibility requirements vary by jurisdiction, so it is best to contact an expungement or sealing attorney in your state to see your eligibility.
If you believe that you or someone else experienced unlawful discrimination, you can report a civil rights violation.
In a Nutshell: A convicted felon does not enjoy a protected status against employer discrimination (i.e. like race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.). An employer may refuse to hire a convicted felon as long as there is a bona fide occupational basis for so discriminating.
