Maximize Information, Minimize Risk

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) recently issued an updated Enforcement Guidance on employer use of arrest and conviction records in employment decisions under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (Title VII). The Commission voted 4-1 to approve the guidance document. The Commission also issued a Question-and-Answer (Q&A) document about the guidance. The Enforcement Guidance and Q&A document will be available on the EEOC's website at www.eeoc.gov. For a summary written by Data Facts Compliance Manager, Johnna Leeds, please click here.
