Additionally, for remote roles open to individuals in unincorporated Los Angeles – including remote roles - employers must also include a list of all material job duties of the specific job position which the employer reasonably believes that criminal history may have a direct, adverse and negative relationship potentially resulting in the withdrawal of the conditional offer of employment. However, guidance is still pending as to what is required for this point, and for the time being it is sufficient to state that criminal history will be assessed vis as vis the job duties.
