FAQ
In California, criminal convictions can only be reported for seven years. Under California civil code (The Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act), any misdemeanors, complaints, indictments, arrests, and convictions older than that cannot be reported on background checks.
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.
The California Fair Chance Act protects job applicants from discrimination based on their criminal history. The law, which became effective on January 1, 2018, limits when and what employers can ask about criminal history.
Compare your work, conduct and treatment to that of those outside of your protected class as much as possible. Provide proof that others of similar qualifications have been given better opportunities, projects that are more favorable and superior treatment.
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).
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.
To prove discrimination, a complainant has to prove that: they have a characteristic protected by the Human Rights Code Code; they experienced an adverse impact with respect to an area protected by the Code; and. the protected characteristic was a factor in the adverse impact.
Evidence in a discrimination case in California typically includes: emails, text messages, recordings, disciplinary forms, termination documents, or a copy of your employment contract if one exists. If you're like most Californians, you spend an inordinate amount of time at work.
Evidence takes several forms. It includes your testimony, which is the very first evidence gathered by EEOC. It also includes written materials such as evaluations, notes by your employer, letters, memos, and the like. You will be asked to provide any documents you may have that relate to your case.
