Fair Chance Hiring Breakfast and Presentation with Attorney General Phil Weiser
Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser and Gibson Dunn will present a continuing legal education seminar on fair chance hiring (“FCH”) – the hiring of individuals who have been arrested or convicted of crimes. The presentation will include remarks from AG Weiser and Department of Corrections Deputy Executive Director of Community Operations, Merideth McGrath.
Gibson Dunn will then present the business case and legal framework for FCH, including the risks of not engaging in FCH given state laws and EEOC guidance interpreting Title VII, as exemplified by recent EEOC litigation against companies that allegedly violated Title VII by refusing to hire applicants with conviction or arrest records.
The presentation also will review common concerns associated with FCH, such as fears about recidivism and negligent hiring claims. Finally, a large employer and the Senior Director of Inclusive Hiring for the Center for Employment Opportunities will provide practical tips on implementing FCH in the talent lifecycle.
