  • Where can I find information on whether a criminal background check should be performed on individuals before hiring?
    Background checks are a common practice for employers in Massachusetts and across the United States. Employers should be aware of the legal requirements and best practices for conducting these checks. The Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety and Security's Department of Criminal Justice Information Services (DCJIS) provides access to Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI), which can be a valuable resource for employers. It is important to understand that background checks may include not only criminal history but also other relevant information such as professional licenses and driving records. Employers should ensure compliance with federal and state laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and Massachusetts laws regarding the use of criminal records in hiring decisions. For more information, you can visit the DCJIS website at https://www.mass.gov/orgs/department-of-criminal-justice-information-services.
