EEOC's Former Legal Counsel and AccuScreen's CEO to Speak at the 2014 HR Florida Conference & Expo
Tampa, FL (PRWEB) May 31, 2014 -- Kevin Connell, CEO of AccuScreen.com will be speaking about Criminal Background Checks and how to "Avoid the Wrath of the EEOC: Insider Secrets Revealed by Former EEOC Legal Counsel."
Connell will be co-presenting with Reed Russell, former Legal Counsel for the EEOC. Russell currently practices law at Phelps Dunbar LLP in Tampa, FL, focusing on labor and employment law.
This program is an advanced level concurrent session that will be presented at the 2014 HR Florida Conference & Exposition on October 7 at 7:00 am at the Hilton Bonnet Creek in Orlando, FL.
Two years have passed since the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) issued new enforcement guidance on employers' use of criminal records in employment decisions, and still many employers are in a state of confusion over how to be in compliance with the often perplexing and unclear language contained in the EEOC's 52-page guidance document.
"Against the backdrop of recent litigation initiated by the EEOC over criminal background checks, human resource managers must be mindful of their criminal background check policies and procedures. Having the EEOC's former Legal Counsel to provide critical legal insights should prove extremely beneficial to this year's conference attendees," Connell said.
