It is a Princesses and Ladies Inc. policy not to consider an applicant’s arrest record in employment and volunteer decisions, but a job-related conviction may be considered. Applicants whose position requires contact with clients or their children are automatically barred from employment or volunteering if convicted of an offense that would, under the law, bar the applicant from employment by a licensed child care facility. Convictions of other offenses will be considered on a case by case basis. Every applicant shall, as part of the application process, enumerate all convictions; certify that falsification of the information is ground to deny or withdraw an employment or volunteer position or immediately terminate the employee or volunteer; and authorize the release of criminal conviction information to us. Should the background check disclose conviction for a crime, the applicant will be given a copy of the information. All background check information shall be treated as confidential and maintained in the volunteer’s file located in a private office.
