"Take A Closer Look At Who You Employ"


Minnesota General Guidelines



Minn. Stat. Ann. §§ 364.01 to 364.03
State policy encourages the rehabilitation of criminal offenders; employment opportunity is considered essential to rehabilitation.

No one can be disqualified from pursuing or practicing an occupation that requires a license, unless the crime directly relates to the occupation. Agency may consider the nature and seriousness of the crime and its relation to the applicant’s fitness for the occupation. Even if the crime does relate to the occupation, a person who provides evidence of rehabilitation and present fitness cannot be disqualified.
