全国专业背景筛查者协会 (NAPBS) 是我们的创始成员之一,它正在准备关于雇主获取犯罪历史记录的相关性和好处的评论意见,以提交给 EEOC。随着我们朝着 7 月的会议日期迈进,NAPBS 还与其他协会和联盟合作。
鉴于本次会议对我们的行业和您作为我们的客户的重要性,我们希望确保您了解即将举行的会议并有机会加入我们的努力,以确保犯罪记录提供者和用户的利益被代表。
在就业筛选中使用犯罪记录将是本次会议的重点。您对会议期间正在考虑的事项有着重要的利害关系,因此我们鼓励您将此日期添加到您的日历中,并计划在可能的情况下参加 7 月 26 日的听证会。会议将向公众开放,但不会进行网络直播或电视转播。会议结束后将提供一份成绩单。如果您属于行业协会,我们鼓励您检查该协会是否了解会议并表明立场。
这将是一次全体委员会会议,这意味着所有五名委员和 EEOC 的总法律顾问都将出席。其中包括主席 Jacqueline Berrien、专员 Chai Feldblum、专员 Stuart Ishimaru、专员 Vicky Lipnic 和专员 Constance Barker。正式议程尚未公布,但我们预计会有多个证人小组,包括学者、律师、倡导团体、政府官员和 El v. SEPTA 案件的诉讼当事人等。
Given the importance of this meeting to our industry and to you as our client, we want to ensure that you are aware of this upcoming meeting and have the opportunity to join in our efforts to ensure that the interests of the providers and users of criminal records are represented.
The use of criminal records in employment screening will be the focus of this meeting. You have an important stake in what is being considered during the meeting, so we encourage you to add this date to your calendar and make plans to attend the hearing on July 26 if possible. The meeting will be open to the public, but it will not be webcast or televised. A transcript will be available after the meeting. If you belong to an industry association, we encourage you to check whether the association is aware of the meeting and is taking a stand.
This will be a full Commission meeting, meaning all five Commissioners and EEOC's General Counsels will attend. This includes Chairwoman Jacqueline Berrien, Commissioner Chai Feldblum, Commissioner Stuart Ishimaru, Commissioner Vicky Lipnic, and Commissioner Constance Barker. A formal agenda has not yet been released but we expect there will be multiple panels of witnesses including academics, lawyers, advocacy groups, government officials, and litigants from the El v. SEPTA case and others.
