Important Notice on Criminal History Reporting Limits
Recent changes to federal and state regulations, along with updates to FCRA rules, have introduced new limits on how far back an applicant’s criminal conviction history can be reported. These limits are based on the applicant’s expected annual earnings for the position they are applying for:
1. If the applicant is expected to earn under $75,000 annually, we can only report convictions from the last 7 years.
2. If the applicant is expected to earn over $75,000 annually, there is no time limit on how far back convictions can be reported.
It is essential that your request clearly states whether the job in question will pay over or under $75,000, as this directly impacts the scope of the background check. (Previously, this threshold was set at $25,000.)
