Make sure that you have updated your policy and procedures in the following seven states.
California Governor Jerry Brown recently signed a state law banning
the practice of credit checks for employment. California thus joins a growing list of state with similar
statutes, which includes Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland,
Oregon and Washington.
The California law does include exemptions from the ban. These
include applicants for certain management-level jobs, law enforcement,
positions whose duties would include access to customer’s personal data,
and jobs calling for the direct handling of money.
