New Jersey’s “Ban the Box” law goes into effect next week on March 1, 2015. Employers in New Jersey may no longer have an employment application that contains either a box that must be marked or a question asked that relate to an applicant’s criminal record or lack thereof. Employers also cannot ask about an applicant’s criminal history or even run a criminal background check at the early stages of the employment process. A more thorough analysis of this new law can be found by clicking here to see a previous blog post.
