CRIMINAL BACKGROUND CHECK POLICY AND DISCLOSURE

As a condition of employment, each employee is subject to a criminal background check. In conducting criminal background checks, Montmorency County Commission on Aging will comply with federal laws that protect applicants and employees from discrimination. That includes discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, LGBQT status, religion; disability; genetic information (including family medical history); and age (40 or older).

Although a disqualification is possible, in accordance with federal and state laws, a previous conviction does not automatically disqualify an applicant from consideration for employment with Montmorency County Commission on Aging, unless such employment involves working with children and the conviction or criminal conduct relates to children or is clean record is required given the job duties, funding source, or employment source.

In conducting criminal background checks and convictions, Montmorency County Commission on Aging complies with the EEOC guidelines regarding the use of criminal background checks and specifically follows the “Green Factors” set forth in Green v. Missouri Pacific Railroad. The “Green Factors” requires Montmorency County Commission on Aging to evaluate the criminal background check report under the following test which assesses whether an exclusion is job related for the position in question and consistent with business necessity:

• The nature and gravity of the offense or conduct;
• The time that has passed since the offense or conduct and/or completion of the sentence; and
• The nature of the job held or sought.

To the extent that the criminal background check reveals conduct that would exclude the person from the specific job applied for after applying the “Green Factors,” and to the extent that the basis for denying the job was related to the criminal background check, Montmorency County Commission on Aging will send out an appropriate letter to the prospective employee explaining the basis for denial of the job. The prospective employee shall have ten days after the date of the correspondence explaining the basis for denial of the job to contact the Montmorency County Commission on Aging and schedule a meeting explaining how the criminal background conduct should not exclude him/her. Failure by the prospective employee to contact Montmorency County Commission on Aging within the ten (10) day period as provided above, shall constitute of waiver of such right to engage the Montmorency County Commission on Aging regarding the decision to deny employment.
