What's the Bottom Line?

The bottom line is that hiring decision makers can use pre-employment background screening designed to screen out applicants who would be unsuitable for certain positions, because they have demonstrated, through criminal behavior, that they are untrustworthy, violent, or otherwise unacceptable. An employment screening policy should be legally defensible, if challenged, as long as it complies with state statutes governing the rehabilitation of criminal offenders. All municipalities have a responsibility to their citizens that the people they are entrusting to protect their resources do not have job-related convictions that could impose harm to the resources of the organization or to the general public. Using pre-employment screening as a tool to reduce an organization's exposure to theft, workplace violence, and negligent hiring lawsuits is an important part of any comprehensive selection process.
