John Drury and Robert Szyba to Present "End User Perspective on 'Barriers to Employment': Ban-the-Box, Drug Testing, Artificial Intelligence and Beyond" at 2022 PBSA Annual Conference

John Drury and Robert Szyba, partners in Seyfarth's Labor & Employment department, to present "End User Perspective on 'Barriers to Employment': Ban-the-Box, Drug Testing, Artificial Intelligence and Beyond" at the 2022 PBSA Annual Conference.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and other government agencies continue to regulate background checks and other perceived “barriers to employment." This changing legal landscape has resulted in pressure on end-users to partner with vendors who understand these challenges. This panel will discuss the regulations of end-users meant to address these “barriers to employment,” including regulation of criminal background and credit checks, ban-the-box laws, emerging laws regulating cannabis and drug testing, salary history laws, and the new frontier of utilizing artificial intelligence in employment screening.
