OUTCOME: Monetary settlement for the client along with equitable relief (adoption of a non-discriminatory criminal records hiring policy)

A large international data company failed to promote and then terminated my client because of his stale criminal record which was unrelated to his position in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act ... (“FCRA”), 15 U.S.C. §§ 1681 et seq., and Pennsylvania’s Criminal History Record Information Act (“CHRIA”), 18 Pa. Cons. Stat. §§ 9101 et seq., Title VII, and the Pennsylvania Human Relations Act ("PHRA").
