Read MoreSan Francisco and Los Angeles both developed Ban the Box/Fair Chance Laws prior to the passing of the California statewide ban the box law, which went into effect on January 1, 2018. In some ways, the laws passed in these cities are stronger than the CA law. Recently, the Board of Supervisors for the City and County of San Francisco amended some portions of their Fair Chance Ordinance to align it with AB 1008, the California Fair Chance Ordinance.
While some aspects of the San Francisco law present stronger protections to job applicants, the California law protects job applicants more favorably than San Francisco’s version. The amendments to San Francisco’s law go in to effect October 1.
Here are the items that were amended.
San Francisco also offered another amendment surrounding certain types of convictions for marijuana and cannabis offenses. A new category of “off limits” information was added which states, “A conviction that arises out of conduct that has been decriminalized since the date of the conviction,” which is measured from the date of sentencing. These types of convictions will need to be evaluated to determine whether the charge in question was decriminalized post-conviction.
As can be seen by these updates, there are a lot more things to consider in San Francisco. Prior to October 1, it’s advisable that companies review job applications and interview guidelines and make the necessary changes, as well as reviewing the policies currently in place regarding background checks.
