July 31st 2024 By Jennifer Mora and Pamela Devata @ www.seyfarth.com
Effective September 3, 2024, employers with locations or employees (including remote workers) in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County (ULAC) will be subject to a new Fair Chance Ordinance. To say that the new requirements are challenging is an understatement. For this reason, employers that ask about or use criminal history in making employment decisions would be well-advised to review and make immediate changes to their background screening policy and processes to comply with the new Ordinance.
