Are you in compliance with the laws regarding background checks for employers in the states in which you hire? Are you in a “7-year state”? Does your state have a “Ban the Box” law?

One example of a state law that directly affects employers is in Pennsylvania. In that state, an employer may only consider convictions to the extent that they relate to the suitability of employment for the specific position being filled. If an adverse decision is based on a conviction, the employer must inform the applicant.

The city of Philadelphia has additional restrictions which apply only when a person is employed within the city.

Want to check out your state? Does your city have additional restrictions? We have the answers! Our clients have access to HRcomply. It’s a free service available to all clients. Simply login to the client portal and scroll down to State Rules Register. Click the link and you’re in! Feel free to explore on your own or ask us for a demo. We’re happy to help.
