Minnesota Expands "Ban The Box" To Private Employers
Minnesota
We here at Private Eyes, Inc. want to bring you the most up to date information. This particular update pertains to Minnesota; the article also includes a link to penalties that may be imposed.
 
Governor Mark Dayton signed a bill expanding the "Ban the Box" law to private employers that will go into effect beginning Jan. 1, 2014. 
 
"Ban the Box" has applied to public employers in Minnesota since 2009. The law requires public, and now private, employers to wait until a job applicant has been selected for an interview or a conditional offer of employment has been extended before asking a job applicant about criminal records or conducting a criminal record check. This law offers the vast majority of individuals with a non-violent criminal record a second chance at an opportunity for employment to better their lives.

 New Colorado Law Regarding The Use Of Credit Reports In Hiring Decisions
Colorado's law goes into effect July 1, 2013 and is the ninth state to enact such laws restricting the use of credit checks in pre-employment screening. Other states that have enacted similar laws are California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Oregon, Vermont and Washington. 

This past month, Colorado Governor John W. Hickenlooper signed into lawColorado Senate Bill 13-018 (the "Employment Opportunity Act"), which will significantly restrict the ability of Colorado employers to use "consumer credit information" for hiring and other employment purposes unless use of the information is limited to the narrow category of positions set forth in the statute.

The nationwide trend towards banning employers' use of credit history is expected to continue at both the state and federal level. Similar legislation has been introduced in several states, including Florida, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania.

New Form I-9 Goes Into Effect

The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)

recently released an updated Employment Eligibilty

update key

Verification Form I-9. The new Form I-9 must be used for all new hires, including re-verification or rehires. The new Form I-9 denotes a revision date of March 8, 2013 in the lower left hand corner of the form and is available on the USCIS's website. Employers are not required to complete the new Form I-9 for current employees if they have maintained properly-completed unexpired forms on file for those employees.

 

Key Changes

While the new Form I-9 does not change an employer's obligation to verify employee identity and employment authorization, it does alter the list of acceptable documentation and adds several data fields.
