Statement of use of Criminal Convition Records

Once CAPMC makes a conditional offer of employment to an applicant, it may ask about and consider the applicant’s conviction records. Records such as arrest records that did not lead to conviction, referrals to participation in pretrial or post-trial diversion programs, non-felony convictions for marijuana possession that are two or more years old, and convictions that have been judicially sealed, dismissed, expunged, statutorily eradicated, or court dispositions governed by a juvenile court are generally off limits (except where may be required to obtain a Department of Social Services or other clearance required by programs such as Head Start) at any point in the hiring process and will not be considered. Before denying employment based on a conviction record, CAPMC will conduct an individualized assessment as to whether the conviction has a “direct and adverse relationship” with the specific job duties of the position being applied for by the applicant. Accordingly, CAPMC will consider the following:

The nature and severity of the offense,

How long it has been since the applicant committed the offense and served his or her sentence, and

The nature of the job the applicant is applying for.

Notice and an Opportunity to Respond

If, after completing this inquiry, CAPMC decides not to hire the applicant; CAPMC will provide the applicant with written notice of its decision. This will:

Specify the conviction that was the basis for the decision

Provide a copy of the conviction history report, if CAPMC has one, and

Explain the applicant’s right to respond with favorable evidence by a certain deadline.

CAPMC will provide the applicant five business days to challenge the accuracy of the information obtained by CAPMC or to provide mitigating evidence that lessens the impact of the conviction. Example, the applicant might submit evidence of completion of a drug rehabilitation program or the applicant’s efforts to make amends for the crime. If the applicant notifies CAPMC within five business days that he or she is taking steps to gather evidence, CAPMC will provide an additional five business days to respond to the notice.

Notice of the Final Decision

CAPMC will consider any information provided by the applicant before making a final decision. If the final decision is to deny employment, CAPMC will provide written notice of this decision to the applicant. There is no appeal or grievance process to challenging this decision. All applicants who believe that CAPMC acted unlawfully in making any employment decision based in whole or in part on the applicant’s criminal conviction history has the right to file a complaint with the California Department of Fair Employment & Housing. Please note that CAPMC will never consider the following information in reviewing an applicant’s criminal conviction history once a conditional offer of employment is made or at any time during the hiring process:

Arrest records. CAPMC may not ask an applicant about prior arrests that did not lead to convictions or seek or use records related to such arrests. CAPMC may ask applicants about arrests that did lead to conviction and arrests for which the applicant is awaiting trial (for example, because the applicant is out on bail or has been released on his or her own recognizance pending trial).

Diversion programs. CAPMC may not ask about an applicant's referral to or participation in a pretrial or post-trial diversion program.

Sealed records. CAPMC may not ask about convictions that have been sealed, expunged, or statutorily eradicated.

Certain marijuana offenses. CAPMC may not ask about non-felony convictions for marijuana possession that are more than two years old.

Juvenile records. CAPMC may not ask applicants about juvenile records relating to arrest, detention, processing, or adjudication while the applicant was subject to the juvenile court system. California does not consider juvenile court decisions to be “convictions” that employers could otherwise inquire about.
