Louisville KY Background Checks
Background Laws Specific to the City of Louisville, KY
In 2014, Louisville, KY passed a ban-the-box ordinance to stop employers from asking applicants about past criminal histories on initial employment applications. The ordinance is meant to give applicants with previous convictions a fair chance at employment, avoid discrimination, and help fill job vacancies due to the lack of qualified candidates. Employers are encouraged to not ask about criminal convictions on job applications unless the conviction is directly related to the position.
The Louisville, KY ban-the-box law covers county employment applications and vendors of the Louisville Metro Government. All Louisville employers must familiarize themselves with current ban-the-box laws to understand the law's exceptions and expectations.

Background Screening Stories in the City of Louisville, KY
Hemmer, DeFrank, and Wessels, Kentucky attorneys at law, explain the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). "The FCRA deals with inaccurate or incomplete records," the law firm explained. "Criminal background checks occasionally include errors, such as convictions that were expunged, misclassifications of crimes, incomplete information about a crime (such as charges being dropped), multiple listings of a single offense, or records that do not actually belong to the applicant."
The law firm says that the FCRA urges employers to obtain written consent on an applicant before running a background check, inform the applicant if the background check results might have a negative effect on being hired, provide the applicant with a copy of the report, and inform the applicant if the background check played a role in the hiring decision.
