In order to set a standard for hiring policies, the federal government created the Fair Credit Reporting Act, or FCRA, which monitors and protects both employers and job candidates.
State Laws
Michigan Complied Laws Act 453 – 37.2205a Employer, employment agency, or labor organization; record of information regarding misdemeanor arrest, detention, or disposition; failure to recite or acknowledge information; “law enforcement agency” defined.
Our Take: Employers in Michigan cannot ask for, assemble or keep information on an applicant’s misdemeanor arrests, detentions, or dispositions that did not result in convictions. However, CRAs may still report on felony charges that have not yet resulted in conviction or dismissal.
