Report Cards

Report cards evaluate the hiring policies of San Bernardino County and Riverside County, as well as the cities of Fontana, Colton, Redlands, San Bernardino, Highland, Perris, Lake Elsinore, Riverside, Indio, and Banning. A report card for the City and County of San Francisco is also included in the report cards for both counties to provide a national model of fair hiring policies that deserve an A grade.These report card grades are intended to measure the existing barriers to fair hiring and to provide city and county HR departments with a road map for change.

 

Key report card findings include:

  • Many cities and counties are not complying with all state laws and federal guidelines in their hiring processes.

  • HR policies were not written in sufficient detail to guarantee fair or consistent evaluation of criminal records in the hiring process.

  • Application language often discourages people with criminal records from applying and does not clearly state a commitment to fair hiring or individualized consideration.

  • No local cities and counties compile data on their hiring (or rejection) of people with criminal records and so they cannot effectively evaluate their hiring practices.
