Know Your Rights

Criminal Records & Jobs
Under federal law, it is illegal to deny you employment (or fire you) because of your criminal record if the policy or practice disproportionately and unjustifiably excludes people of a particular race or national origin (or another protected category). Under federal law, you also have the right to know what is on your background check before an employer makes any decision based on the report that affect your employment.
