The Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance makes sure fair hiring practices are used for people with a criminal history looking for work in LA County. On Tuesday, February 27, 2024, the Board unanimously voted to adopt the County’s Fair Chance Ordinance for Employers (FCO). This Ordinance is in line with the California Fair Chance Act (FCA), or Ban the Box, which was established to ensure that those with criminal records have fair and equitable access to opportunities for gainful employment.
The County’s Department of Economic Opportunity, recently hosted a free training session to help system-impacted job seekers learn about their rights. If you missed it, you can watch the full recording of the workshop below.
