Criminal Background Check

 

Nevada law requires public employers to provide applicants written notice of final decisions to revoke job offers based on criminal history.  Please note, there should be no question(s) on the initial application [or interview] whether an applicant has a criminal background. 

NERC has created (3) three sample templates to assist public employers in complying with this obligation.  Please note: the law does not require the use of these sample templates, rather they may be useful tools for ALL employers (public and/or private).  Please see the letter templates and the ban the box guidance below for more information.

If your organization would like additional information about the Commission’s no-cost training or have any questions, please contact NERC’s Outreach Office at (702) 486-7161, or via online form: NERC Outreach.

If you should have any questions regarding this topic, contact the Nevada Equal Rights Commission.
