Fair Chance Act: Guidance for California Employers and Job Applicants

The Fair Chance Act, which went into effect on January 1, 2018, is a California law that aims to reduce undue barriers to employment for individuals with criminal histories. This law generally prohibits employers with five or more employees from asking a job candidate about conviction history before making a job offer, among other requirements. This type of law is also known as a "Ban the Box" law.

Key Requirements:

  • Applies to employers with 5+ employees
  • No conviction history questions before job offer
  • Individualized assessment required
  • Must consider rehabilitation evidence
