Long Island Breakfast Series: Hiring & Background Check Compliance

Join Jackson Lewis P.C. and Long Island SHRM for their annual Workplace Law Breakfast Series.

The hiring process is increasingly regulated in New York, with a growing web of restrictions on what employers can ask, check, and consider before extending an offer. This session provides a start-to-finish guide to legally compliant hiring — covering salary history bans, pay transparency requirements, ban-the-box and Fair Chance Act obligations, drug testing limitations, and the new statewide credit check ban — so HR professionals can build a process that avoids claims before day one.

Key Subtopics

• Pay transparency: New York's salary range disclosure requirements and NYC's posting obligations for job advertisements
• Ban-the-box and the NYC Fair Chance Act: when and how criminal history can be considered, and the required fair chance analysis
• The statewide credit history ban (effective April 2026): scope, exemptions, and interaction with NYC's existing restriction
• Salary history inquiries: what's prohibited and how to structure compensation discussions lawfully
