Article 23-A of New York\u2019s Correction Law (\u00a7\u00a7750-755), relates to licensure and employment of persons previously convicted of one or more criminal <\/span>
\n
\n offenses
\n <\/g>.\u00a0<\/span>It prohibits employers from denying or terminating employment on the basis of an applicant\u2019s or employee\u2019s prior criminal convictions, except for two narrowly defined exceptions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The two exceptions to hiring or continued employment of an individual with
\n
\n criminal
\n <\/g> history are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Where there is a direct relationship between one or more of the previous criminal
    \n
    \n offenses
    \n <\/g> and the employment sought or held by the individual, or<\/li>\n
  2. The granting or continuation of the employment would involve an unreasonable risk to property or to the safety or welfare of specific individuals or the general public.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Employers must consider the following factors when making decisions about employment or continued employment of individuals with
    \n
    \n criminal
    \n <\/g> history:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. The public policy of the state, as expressed in the law, to encourage the licensure and employment of persons previously convicted of one or more criminal
      \n
      \n offenses
      \n <\/g>;<\/li>\n
    2. The specific duties and responsibilities necessarily related to the employment sought or held by the person;<\/li>\n
    3. The bearing, if any, the criminal
      \n
      \n offense
      \n <\/g> or
      \n
      \n offenses
      \n <\/g> for which the person was previously convicted will have on his or her fitness or ability to perform one or more such duties or responsibilities;<\/li>\n
    4. The time which has elapsed since the occurrence of the criminal
      \n
      \n offense
      \n <\/g> or
      \n
      \n offenses
      \n <\/g>;<\/li>\n
    5. The age of the person at the time of occurrence of the criminal
      \n
      \n offense
      \n <\/g> or
      \n
      \n offenses
      \n <\/g>;<\/li>\n
    6. The seriousness of the
      \n
      \n offense
      \n <\/g> or
      \n
      \n offenses
      \n <\/g>;<\/li>\n
    7. Any information produced by the person, or produced on his behalf, in regard to his rehabilitation and good conduct, and<\/li>\n
    8. The legitimate interest of the public agency or private employer in protecting property, and the safety and welfare of specific individuals or the general public.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Employers must inform applicants and employees of Article 23-A in three different ways:<\/strong>
      First employees must post a copy of the law in the workplace that is accessible to employees and in a visually conspicuous manner. (NY Labor Law Article 7 \u00a7 201) It is usually posted along with other required state and federal posters.<\/p>\n

      Second, employers are required to provide a copy of Article 23-A to any applicant subject to a background check. (NY General Business Law \u00a7 380) This is usually done at the beginning of the application process by attaching a copy of the Article to the job application form, or as part of the background check authorization and disclosure process. As a best practice, the applicant should be required to acknowledge in writing that he or she received a copy of Article 23-A.<\/p>\n

      Third, a copy of Article 23-A must be given to an applicant whenever a consumer report containing criminal conviction information is given to the employer. (NY General Business Law \u00a7 380) A complete copy of Article 23-A should be sent to the consumer along with a copy of the consumer report.<\/p>\n

      Article 23-A is enforced by the New York Division of Human Rights Division and the City Commission on Human Rights.<\/p>\n
