Employment Law Bulletin is an authoritative and industry-leading employment law publication, published 10 times annually by LexisNexis.
This special issue features insightful expert commentary and research on recruitment and criminal record checks, and outlines the contemporary and topical issue of the pitfalls for employers who decide to make criminal record checks where the law does not oblige them to do so.
There are many relevant laws - privacy laws and discrimination laws, for example - which the employer must be aware of in the context of checking a job applicant's criminal record. The articles as part of this special issue explore these laws and also examine what spent conviction legislation tells us about what offences can be ignored.
Each issue of Employment Law Bulletin offers wide coverage and in-depth commentary on pertinent issues of law, policy and administration facing employment law and HR practitioners Australia-wide.
Written by leading expert practitioners and academics, the newsletter is a valuable resource for anyone involved in the area of employment law.
