FAQ

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces Federal laws that protect you from discrimination in employment. If you believe you've been discriminated against at work or in applying for a job, the EEOC may be able to help.

Wronged employees have three ways of proving their employers intended to discriminate: circumstantial evidence, direct evidence, and pattern and practice. Circumstantial evidence is evidence that proves a fact by inference, as opposed to direct evidence which directly proves a fact.

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.

An employment discrimination lawsuit is adjudicated in civil courts. This means that the plaintiff, in such cases, the employee, has the burden of proof.

For example, asking only people of a certain race about their financial histories or criminal records is evidence of discrimination.

The standard for employment-related background checks in Texas is seven years, except for criminal convictions, which may be reported indefinitely. The seven-year limit applies to tax liens, suits or judgments, and most credit history.

Bias and Stereotypes: There can be societal stigma and bias against individuals with felony records. Employers may unconsciously hold negative perceptions about these candidates, leading to discrimination in hiring practices.

A: In California, employers are generally prohibited from asking about or considering arrests that did not lead to convictions when making hiring decisions. This protection is provided under the California Fair Chance Act (AB 1008), which is part of the California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA).

If a criminal background check is conducted but doesn't relate to the nature of the job, the applicant might make a legal claim for discrimination or argue that the information obtained cannot be used when making hiring decisions.
