Experts Say...
Mavrick Law Firm in Miami explains background check laws in Miami and the state of Florida. "Under Florida law, employers could face civil liability for the harm an employee causes to a third party," the law firm states, "For that reason, employers might wish to conduct a thorough investigation of a job applicant's or current employee's criminal record. According to federal guidelines, however, federal law could impose liability on employers who base their employment decisions on criminal records."
The law firm explained that under Title VII of the federal Civil Rights Act of 1964, employers must not discriminate based on sex, age, color, religion, or national origin. "...a policy that screens out all applicants that have ever been convicted of a felony does not, on its face, discriminate on the basis of race or color," the firm said, "However, in practice, the policy might have the result of disproportionately screening out African American or Hispanic applicants."
