10.03 Background Checks
To determine suitability for employment, É«»¢ÊÓÆµ retains the right to perform a background check on any finalist being considered for employment. If a conviction is discovered, Human Resources will evaluate the relationship between the conviction and the responsibilities of the vacant position. Should an applicant not be hired due to a criminal conviction or other background screening, Human Resources will send the applicant pre-adverse action and adverse action correspondence in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. A relevant job-related conviction is grounds for non-selection of an applicant. Falsification of application materials, including failure to disclose criminal convictions, also is grounds for non-selection of an applicant.
Conviction is defined as including all felonies and misdemeanors except minor traffic violations in relation to any position which does not require driving. For positions that require operation of a motor vehicle, the term “conviction” will include minor traffic violations.
