The Employment Department is committed to being a
leader in providing its employees with fair and equal employment opportunities
and recognizes that as a best practice in equity and inclusion, criminal
background check policies shall be job related and consistent with business
necessity.
The agency will only consider information from the past four years (starting
from the date of the arrest) for nonviolent offenses and the past seven years
for violent offenses when conducting its own criminal records checks pursuant
to Oregon
Administrative Rules (OAR) 125-007-0200 through 125-007-0330. For positions with
authorized access to FBI Criminal Justice Information Systems (CJIS)
information, a separate criminal records check is conducted by the Oregon State
Police. If you would like further information on how each criminal records
check is conducted, please read our Criminal Records Check
Policy or contact the Office of Human Resources with
any questions.
