New York City “banned the box” nearly two years ago with the implementation of the Fair Chance Act (the “Act”). Recently, the NYC Commission on Human Rights published final regulations that expand upon the enforcement guidance implementing the Fair Chance Act. These regulations clarify existing obligations and impose additional obligations on employers performing background checks on potential and existing employees.
