Background Checks Toolkit Updated for Los Angeles Ordinance

Los Angeles is the latest in a growing list of jurisdictions to adopt an ordinance restricting employers from asking a job applicant about his or her criminal history during the application process. Under the Ordinance which is currently in effect, private employers with at least 10 employees are barred from inquiring about a job applicant’s criminal history until a conditional offer of employment has been made. Please review the state law summary section of our Background Checks Toolkit for more information. The Toolkit is available on FormSource in the Pre-Employment section.
