New York General Guidelines
N.Y. Correct. Law §§ 750 to 754; N.Y. Exec. Law § 296(16)
Rules for employers:
Arrest records. It is unlawful discrimination to ask about any arrests or charges that did not result in conviction, unless they are currently pending.
Convictions. Employers with 10 or more employees may not deny employment based on a conviction unless it relates directly to the job or would be an "unreasonable" risk to property or to public or individual safety.
Rights of employees and applicants: Upon request, applicant must be given, within 30 days, a written statement of the reasons why employment was denied.
Agency guidelines for pre-employment inquiries: New York State Division of Human Rights, "Rulings on Inquiries (Pre-employment)."
