CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO

EDWIN M. LEE, MAYOR

NOTICE TO JOB APPLICANTS AND EMPLOYEES

San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance Police Code, Article 49

Starting August 13, 2014, the Fair Chance Ordinance (San Francisco Police Code, Article 49) requires employers to follow strict rules regarding the use of arrest and conviction records in hiring and employment decisions. The ordinance covers job applicants and employees who would be or are performing work in whole, or in substantial part, in San Francisco and applies to employers who have 20 or more employees (regardless of the employees’ locations).

Certain matters are off-limits. An employer may never ask about, require disclosure of, or consider: an arrest not leading to a conviction (other than an unresolved arrest that is still undergoing criminal investigation or trial); participation in a diversion or deferral of judgment program; a conviction that has been expunged or made inoperative; any determination in the juvenile justice system; a conviction more than 7 years old; and a criminal offense other than a felony/misdemeanor. Matters that are off-limits cannot be used by the employer for any reason at any stage of the hiring process.

An employer cannot ask about an individual’s conviction history or unresolved arrests at the start of the hiring process. This includes through a job application form, informal conversation, or otherwise.

A mandatory interactive process for matters not off-limits. Only after a live interview has been conducted, or a conditional offer of employment made, is the employer allowed to ask about an individual’s conviction history (except as to matters that are off-limits) and unresolved arrests. Only those convictions and unresolved arrests that directly relate to the individual’s ability to do the job may be considered in making an employment decision.

Before the employer may take an adverse action such as failing/refusing to hire, discharging, or not promoting an individual based on a conviction history or unresolved arrest, the employer must give the individual an opportunity to present evidence that the information is inaccurate, the individual has been rehabilitated, or other mitigating factors. The individual has seven days to respond, at which point the employer must delay any adverse action for a reasonable time and reconsider the adverse action. The employer must notify the individual of any final adverse action.

Evidence of rehabilitation include satisfying parole/probation; receiving education/training; participating in alcohol/drug treatment programs; letters of recommendation; and age at which the individual was convicted. Mitigating factors include coercion, physical or emotional abuse, and untreated substance abuse/mental illness, that contributed to the conviction.

Preemption. Where federal or state law imposes a criminal history requirement that conflicts with a requirement of the Fair Chance Ordinance, the federal or state law will apply.

No Retaliation. An employer may not take an adverse action against an applicant or employee for exercising their rights under the ordinance or cooperating with the Office of Labor Standards Enforcement OLSE.

If you need more information, or wish to report an employer that you believe has violated this ordinance, please contact the OLSE at 415-554-5192 or email FCE@sfgov.org.

La ordenanza cubre a los solicitantes de empleos y empleados que estarían o están realizando su trabajo, o una parte sustancial del mismo, en San Francisco y se aplica a los empleadores que tengan 20 o más empleados (sin importar la ubicación de los empleados).

Está prohibido tocar ciertos asuntos. Un empleador nunca puede preguntar, requerir la divulgación de, o considerar: un arresto que no haya resultado en una condena (que no sea un arresto no resuelto que actualmente esté bajo investigación penal o juicio); participación en un programa de justicia alternativa o de fallo diferido; una condena que haya sido cancelada o declarada inoperante; cualquier determinación en el sistema de justicia juvenil; una condena de más de 7 años de antigüedad; y una infracción penal que no sea un delito mayor o delito menor. El empleador no puede utilizar los asuntos que están prohibidos para ningún propósito, en ninguna etapa del proceso de contratación.

Un empleador no puede preguntar sobre el historial de condenas o de arrestos no resueltos de una persona al inicio del proceso de contratación. Esto incluye preguntar mediante un formulario de solicitud de empleo, una conversación informal o de otra forma.

Un proceso interactivo obligatorio para asuntos que no estén prohibidos. Sólo después de que se haya hecho una entrevista en persona, o se haya hecho una oferta condicional de empleo, el empleador tiene permitido hacer preguntas sobre el historial de condenas de una persona (excepto sobre asuntos que estén prohibidos) y arrestos no resueltos. Sólo se pueden tomar en cuenta las condenas y los arrestos no resueltos que directamente se relacionen con la capacidad de la persona para hacer el trabajo al tomar la decisión del empleo.

Antes de que el empleador pueda tomar una acción adversa como no contratar, negarse a contratar, despedir, o no dar un ascenso a una persona con base en su historial de condenas o arrestos no resueltos, debe darle a la persona una oportunidad para presentar evidencia de que la información no es precisa, que la persona está rehabilitada, y otros factores atenuantes. La persona tiene 7 días para responder, en cuyo momento, el empleador debe posponer cualquier acción adversa durante un tiempo razonable y reconsiderar la acción adversa. El empleador debe avisar al individuo sobre cualquier acción adversa final.

La evidencia de rehabilitación incluye una libertad probatoria/bajo palabra satisfactoria; recibir educación/capacitación; participación en programas de tratamiento contra alcohol/drogas; cartas de recomendación; y la edad a la que la persona recibió la condena. Los factores atenuantes incluyen el chantaje, el maltrato físico o emocional, y la enfermedad no tratada mental o de consumo de sustancias que hayan contribuido con la condena.

Aplicación preferente. Cuando la ley federal o estatal impone un requisito de historial criminal que entra en conflicto con algún requisito de la Ordenanza de Oportunidades Equitativas, prevalecerá la ley federal o estatal.

Sin represalias. Un empleador no puede tomar una acción adversa contra un solicitante o empleado por ejercer sus derechos conforme a la ordenanza o por cooperar con la Oficina de Cumplimiento de los Estándares Laborales (Office of Labor Standards Enforcement, OLSE).

Si usted necesita más información, o si desea reportar a un empleador que usted crea que ha infringido esta ordenanza, por favor comuníquese con la OLSE al 415-554-5192 o por correo electrónico a FCE@sfgov.org.

Wisconsin Consumers Have the Right to Obtain a Security Freeze

Effective January 1, 2007, if you live in Wisconsin you have a right to place a "security freeze" on your credit report. A freeze will prohibit a credit reporting agency from releasing information in your credit report without your express authorization. A security freeze must be requested in writing by certified mail by you to each of the three consumer reporting agencies. The security freeze is designed to prevent an extension of credit, such as a loan or a new credit card, from being approved in your name without your consent. A freeze may protect you from identity theft. However, you should be aware that using a security freeze to take control over who gets access to the personal and financial information in your credit report may delay approval of any subsequent request or application you make regarding a loan, credit, mortgage, or Internet credit card transaction, including an extension of credit at point of sale. As a result, if you plan on obtaining new credit, you should release your freeze approximately one week before seeking new credit.

Placing the Freeze on your Credit Report

To place a security freeze on your credit report, send your written request via certified mail to:

Equifax CSC Credit Services Security Freeze P O Box 674438 Houston, TX 77267-4438

Experian Experian Security Freeze P. O. Box 9554 Allen, TX 75013

TransUnion TransUnion Security Freeze P. O. Box 6790 Fullerton, CA 92834-6790

The fee to place a security freeze is $10.00 for each credit reporting agency. If you submit a copy of a valid police report that verifies you are a victim of identity theft, no fee will be charged. Include your complete name, complete address, social security number, date of birth and payment, if applicable. For your convenience there are form letters to each of the credit reporting companies available on www.privacy.wi.gov. The forms allow you to type in your personal information and print the letter or you may print the blank letter and write your information Written confirmation of the security freeze will be sent to you within 10 business days of receipt of the request.. It will include a personal identification number (PIN), and instructions for removing the security freeze or authorizing the release of your credit report for a specific period of time.

Removing the Freeze from your Credit Report

When you request a security freeze for your credit report, you will be provided a personal identification number (PIN) to use if you choose to remove the security freeze from your credit report or authorize the release of your credit report for a period of time after the security freeze is in place. Be sure to keep your personal identification number (PIN) in a secure place for use when needed. To remove your freeze either permanently or temporarily, you must contact the consumer reporting agency and provide all of the following:

(1) The personal identification number (PIN). (2) Proper identification to verify your identity. (3) The period of time for which the report shall be made available. (4) Payment of the appropriate fee.

A security freeze does not apply to those with which you have an existing account that request information in your credit report for the purposes of reviewing or collecting the account. Reviewing the account includes activities related to account maintenance, monitoring, credit line increases, and account upgrades and enhancements.

If You Are a Victim of Identity Theft

A victim of identity theft with a police report to verify the crime will not be required to pay the $10 fee to the credit reporting agencies in order to obtain a security freeze. Be prepared to submit a copy of the police report when requesting the freeze. No fee will be charged to remove or replace the freeze as long as the police report is included in all correspondence.

If you believe your identity has been stolen, contact the Wisconsin Office of Privacy Protection at 1-800-422-7128 or email us at WisconsinPrivacy@datcp.state.wi.us. Visit our website at privacy.wi.gov for more information.

STATE OF WASHINGTON CONSUMER CREDIT REPORTING ACT

SUMMARY OF CONSUMER RIGHTS

The State of Washington Fair Credit Reporting Act (WFCRA) promotes the accuracy, fairness, and privacy of information in the files of consumer reporting agencies. There are many types of consumer reporting agencies, including credit bureaus and specialty agencies (such as agencies that sell information about check writing histories, medical records, and rental history records).

Here is a summary of your major rights under the WFCRA. The WFCRA is modeled after the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act. The same rights are provided under the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act and you have received A Summary of Your Rights Under the Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act. You can get the complete text of WFCRA RCW 19.182, from the Washington Code Revisers Office, P.O. Box 40551, Olympia, WA, 98504, or online at http://apps.leg.wa.Gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=19.182&full=true#19.182.070.

• You must be told if information in your file has been used against you. If a person takes an adverse action against you that is based, in whole or in part, on information contained in a consumer report, that person must tell you, and must give you the name, address, and telephone number of the consumer reporting agency that provided the information.

• You have a right to know what is in your file. You may request and obtain all the information about you in the files of a consumer reporting agency, although medical information may be withheld and given directly to your medical provider. You will be required to provide proper identification, which may include your Social Security number. In many cases, the disclosure will be free. You will not be charged for:

a consumer report if a person has taken adverse action against you because of information in your credit report;
the reinvestigation of information you dispute; or
corrected reports resulting from the deletion of inaccurate or unverifiable information.
In addition, you are entitled to one free consumer report every 12 months, upon request. You may be charged a limited fee for a second or subsequent report requested by you during a 12 month period.

• You have a right to dispute incomplete or inaccurate information. If you identify information in your file that is incomplete or inaccurate, and you notify the consumer reporting agency directly of the dispute, the consumer reporting agency will reinvestigate without charge and record the current status of the disputed information before the end of thirty business days, unless your dispute is frivolous.

• Consumer reporting agencies must correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete, or unverifiable information. Upon completion of the reinvestigation, if the information you disputed is found to be inaccurate or cannot be verified, the consumer reporting agency will delete the information and notify you of the correction.

If the reinvestigation does not resolve your dispute, you may file with the consumer reporting agency a brief statement setting forth the nature of your dispute. The statement will be placed in your consumer file and in any subsequent report containing the information you disputed.

• Consumer reporting agencies may not report outdated negative information. In most cases, a consumer reporting agency may not report negative information that is more than seven years old, or bankruptcies that are more than ten years old.

• Access to your file is limited. A consumer reporting agency may provide information about you only to people with a valid need — usually to consider an application with a creditor, insurer, employer, landlord, or other business. The WFCRA specifies those with a valid need for access.

• You must be notified if reports are provided to employers. A consumer reporting agency may not give out information about you to employers without your knowledge. A potential employer must make a clear and conspicuous disclosure in writing to you or obtain your consent before obtaining a report. A current employer may not receive a report unless it has given you written notice that consumer reports may be used for employment purposes.

• You may limit “prescreened” offers of credit and insurance you get based on information in your credit report. You may elect not to receive unsolicited “prescreened” offers for credit and insurance by using the consumer reporting agency’s notification system to remove your name and address from the lists these offers are based on. You may opt-out with the nationwide credit bureaus at 1-888-5-OPTOUT (1-888-567-8688).

• You may place a security freeze on your credit report. A security freeze prevents your credit file from being shared with potential creditors or insurance companies. You may request a security freeze by contacting the three credit bureaus, as follows: They may charge a fee for providing this service.

• You may be able to block information resulting from identity theft from appearing on your credit report. If you are a victim of identity theft, a consumer reporting agency must permanently block misinformation resulting from that theft from appearing on your credit report. You must provide the consumer reporting agency with a copy of a police report as evidence of your claim before it can place the block on your report.

• You may seek damages from violators. If a consumer reporting agency, or in some cases, a user of consumer reports or a furnisher of information to a consumer reporting agency violates the WFCRA, you may be able to sue in state or federal court.

A Summary of Your Rights Under New Jersey’s Fair Credit Reporting Act

Under the New Jersey Fair Credit Reporting Act (NJFCRA or the “Act”), an employer, before taking adverse employment action, is required to provide the applicant or employee with a summary of their rights under the Act with respect to consumer reports or investigative consumer reports obtained for employment purposes from a consumer reporting agency (CRA). This Summary is intended to serve that purpose.

You can find the complete text of the NJCRA, N.J. Stat. §§56:11-29 – 56:11-41, at the New Jersey State Legislature’s web site (http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/). You may have additional rights under the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. 1681-1681u, which is available on the Internet at the Federal Trade Commission’s website (http://www.ftc.gov).

• You must consent to the procurement for employment purposes of a report about you. Before an employer can obtain a report about you from a CRA, the employer must provide you with notice that it will request the report and obtain your consent to that request. A CRA may not give out information about you to the employer, or prospective employer, without your written consent.

• You must be told if information in your file has been used against you for employment purposes. An employer who uses information from a consumer or investigative consumer report to take action against you -- such as denying an application for employment or terminating employment -- must tell you that its decision is based in whole or in part on the report. The employer also must provide you with a description of your rights under the NJCRA and a reasonable opportunity to dispute with the CRA any information on which the employer relied.

• You have a right to know what is in your file. You may request and obtain all the information about you in the file of a CRA and a list of everyone who has recently requested your file. These disclosures may be made in person, over the telephone or by any other reasonable method available to the CRA. Additionally, you are entitled to one free consumer report every 12 months, upon request. You may be charged a limited fee for a second or subsequent report requested by you during a 12 month period.

• You have a right to dispute incomplete or inaccurate information. If you identify information in your file that is incomplete or inaccurate, and you notify the consumer reporting agency directly of the dispute, the CRA will reinvestigate without charge and record the current status of the disputed information before the end of thirty business days, unless your dispute is frivolous or irrelevant. The CRA must give you a written report of the investigation.

• Consumer reporting agencies must correct or delete inaccurate, incomplete or unverifiable information. Upon completion of the reinvestigation, if the information you disputed is found to be inaccurate or cannot be verified, the CRA will delete the information within 30 days after you dispute it and notify you of the correction. If the reinvestigation does not resolve your dispute, you may file with the CRA a brief statement setting forth the nature of your dispute. The statement will be placed in your consumer file and in any subsequent report containing the information you disputed.

• Consumer reporting agencies may not report outdated negative information. In most cases, a CRA may not report negative information that is more than seven years old, or bankruptcies that are more than ten years old.

• You may place a security freeze on your credit report. A security freeze prevents your credit file from being shared with potential creditors or insurance companies. You may request a security freeze by contacting by calling the following toll-free telephone number(s): TransUnion: 888-909-8872, Experian: 888-397-3742, Equifax: 800-685-1111 (NY residents please call 1-800-349-9960).

If you are a Minnesota resident, you have the right to place a “security freeze” on your credit report, which will prohibit us from releasing any information in your credit report without your express authorization, except to those with whom you have an existing account or a collection agency acting on behalf of the existing account, for purposes of reviewing (account maintenance, monitoring, credit line increases and account upgrades and enhancements) or collecting the account. Your information also may be used for the purposes of prescreening as provided for by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, even if a security freeze is on the report.
