A company cannot use failing a criminal background check as the reason not to hire someone. The business must individually assess convictions as they directly relate to your jobs before deciding not to hire an applicant based on his or her criminal record.

If someone has been convicted of embezzlement, a cash handling role at a bank, the bank might say the crime makes you unqualified for the job but the same cannot be said for a job, say, doing manual labor for a landscaping company.
