Fight with HR? No, they are breaking the law.

You should talk to an employment lawyer. You could potentially get a cash settlement, force them to consider your application, or an injunction that would force them to treat future applicants better. Could also file a complaint with the state and they will investigate on your behalf. Good lawyer can advise you of options though.



view as:

I tried. they wanted money up front I couldn't afford. The job was a relocation to boston, mass. and they had the check the box laws and all that. It didn't matter.

They did it in writing, too. every step of the way. from the job offer, to the acceptance, to the background check after, to notifying me of adverse information being found, they gave me a chance to explain, and I'm like, you said you wouldn't look back further than 7 years, the law says you can't, in both california and boston. They didn't care, and they in writing terminated me because of information that was 9 years old, my felony.

I have had a LOT of things happen over the years, many of which should have been suable. I'm afraid it isn't like in the movies or the media. the 2 year statute of limitations ran out in 2021, so. here we are only talking about it.


Maybe you need a better lawyer. Good lawyer should talk to you for free to explain the process and see if you have a case worth pursuing.

Also this is definitely free and they can decide to bring a lawsuit on your behalf https://calcivilrights.ca.gov/complaintprocess/?content=file...


At minimum you could sue them in small claims court.

In Massachusetts that would be a nice four figure payday.
