Multi-State Screening: Practical Guide to Fair-Chance and Ban the Box and New Claims on the Horizon

Hiring across states brings different rules. This session breaks down fair-chance initiatives, ban-the-box, timing limits, credit-check rules, and new state data-protection laws. We will also cover EEOC shifts and what a rollback means for screening. You will get clear steps to align policy, workflow, and documentation.

Key Learnings:

  1. Overview of fair-chance initiatives and ban-the-box rules by state.

  2. Multi-state screening workflow examples. Conditional offers, background checks, individualized assessment, and notices.

  3. Update on credit-check limits, state data-protection laws, and EEOC shifts.
