INFORMATION FOR EMPLOYERS
BAN THE BOX
Ban the Box is a policy that removes the criminal history question from job applications, allowing candidates to be evaluated based on their qualifications before a background check is conducted. These laws vary by state and locality, with some applying only to public employers and others extending to private businesses.
Our Lookup Tool below allows clients to quickly check Ban the Box laws by jurisdiction. By selecting a location, users can see which Ban the Box laws might apply, which employers are affected, and at what stage a background check can be conducted. This tool is for informational purposes only and should not be considered legal advice. Employers should consult their own legal counsel to ensure full compliance with applicable laws.
