McBride said over the last 20 years, she's been let go from several jobs without being given a reason why. She told FOX 25, now, it all makes sense.
"This is why... because when they ran my criminal background check, all they're seeing is those two words: felony embezzlement," McBride said.
"...if the employer thinks it might not hire or retain you because of something in the report, it must give you a copy of the report and a 'notice of rights' that tells you how to contact the company that made the report." -- https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/background-checks-what-jo...
Now, is it a just charge? Almost certainly not. But that's a question that courts have to answer, it's what they're for.
She could possibly go after the person she was dating and, if she had evidence he did it without her knowing, she could maybe sue him for lost wages.
Felony embezzlement sounds excessive for a movie rental.
That's not the burden, last I checked.
> The EEOC enforces Title VII, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. Having a criminal record is not listed as a protected basis in Title VII. Therefore, whether a covered employer's reliance on a criminal record to deny employment violates Title VII depends on whether it is part of a claim of employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
