“Ban the Box” ~ Are you ready?

Today, our colleagues Stacie Yee and Kimberly Higgins posted their client alert discussing a City of Los Angeles ordinance, effective January 22, barring certain private employers doing business in the city from inquiring about a job applicant’s criminal history until a conditional offer of employment has first been extended.

The alert is titled “Ban the Box” Has Arrived in the City of Los Angeles—Are You in Compliance?
