Employers may still consider criminal history when making hiring decisions but cannot discriminate based on protected characteristics or apply screening policies that create unlawful discrimination.

Employers should continue evaluating whether criminal convictions are relevant to a position, apply screening criteria consistently and avoid blanket exclusions based on criminal history. Arrests should also be treated differently from convictions, as an arrest alone does not establish that an individual committed a crime. Individualized assessments that consider the nature of the offense, time elapsed and job responsibilities remain a best practice.

Employers must also continue complying with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), as well as applicable state and local fair-chance hiring laws that may restrict when and how criminal history can be considered.

The rescission changes the EEOC's enforcement guidance, not the underlying legal [requirements](https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fshared.outlook.inky.com%2Flink%3Fdomain%3Dnam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com%26t%3Dh.eJxNVFmPozgQ_iujlnqeNmlj7pFGuxyhgQTI0RzJCzLYBAIBwhXIav_7kp7ZnZHK11dfVVnlcv390jfFy7cvL2nX1e23t7cSXSm4bFFCiqzM22XdVB2Ju6wql1XfFVWVL-Pq-vbnbPb90-aVll6hNkuboobg_1mz9fSkzpqnp1daw9UVZeUrrZJ5LZZRn6PuJ4XrZjhdEnO08wJur7nkpkO4HrvOP0ZsKV6ry-nmrutznRZNPj7O8sJSDCVj_WvI04juHx1xF4TdPLaLD5qLnEcl-h7gNjcuCfw43Nx5WJWLjZ7gxDf604T1ktjUWJfiQjpKcX5PsVNnJquvb2NsWZ7fmliht4XcqgsA8nTMdMQZnrVigkL3r1ytUyF9PjSVMpzEw41VbPMDsjE577tEXffMbq8jJqKtZDDqTV5cuejdrhWZ2ikP6MQM2FHrXVp4JonWgxqVTG5fsccc15m2qnmnYw9TizX34NelACen5oP9mRxGFlWlEmLHHjecAOkEcKN8Zo9gvQpxUdzG7XZxsLZqwnIM0-FBtfeFuoWt4T8c1dQME2F0nC7KyQSUsMveBVjKtQceK9-j44_TtFJIdEpBkvdmReU9CKZJV6gdKeWp2K1uXmPahr2eAu3Gjci4uLa73VYMkQdwXIP7Yqu0Jg8voauUN0fRxpZvJ4YkgXAqXKELgW_p0-YWBIHlT0ng0H3bN_GQnutKtQB7fOz0_iBrXi7Zqo1ccL9vzuNDkh1Dku7S9aH4ymob5SwQF9gvJ9jxiVovuOYQ4jxMrLYUBsEPIDstaoOD_dJa7RRjZYc2po3sIg5aGmpjXWP3Ye-Gflrzvu5ePCdrpPNQqO5GyiQ7jSn97nknIFNbOWaurIZ54-MUpvtroQ7sDXkF79Rx0Z6_YtSh74B95RUA54lEaC7z7pUBv9U1r_AMYtg4whThBIaiEjFCAhBwQiMRESRQMwUzmIcUy_BgngSGRyzFJxSE4mxCBBbNlCcNzIOjRSgyFBDh_IA8R8Onwi3zsrqX8-7D1-ro_dRGNBbIZGpRIAPiUmn8nmdOuZ-w77ZGccyczLhvLlJvqdJ9_kYzJs2YGSCfeVjZfM41x7hU2ae_Tz125_OU7OZf-pQft_khX9vPTJBcguqtdPZ2dqziSisTfnc2HJLeZe4I0rkLCJXenNOGvCdzz1C_NqQlzUDwd_Dyx5eX_NmDfmRuMWeuRmVG2reY4GtV4rYq__qV1TcYUUJEICsmJMJ0jHksCgkmIpsQSEUQvlG8SAsUwzLskmEoQeDFZwjyDPHzmX5z91ThX9H_g7IZov75F-J-qgQ.MEYCIQD3dKBHtY4IpUJ018tawIwgMkENBgNV5aftQlChqp4dkAIhAJCYB-XlK2eVxRqldHoWzy4qdDbUSxgb1ZiY00ZFa1Z4&data=05%7C02%7Cebalint%40bukaty.com%7C125a98313ce941b5382b08df3a9bec90%7Cd4d7215470154847a517f1229e68e85a%7C1%7C0%7C639294113527724761%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=y8rvu7%2Bqe6uJweujd%2FDjUUy4MXvsKl1f5f6nHrDPYU4%3D&reserved=0).
