Greccio Housing is committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for our staff, residents, and community. As part of our hiring process, we recognize the importance of thoroughly screening candidates to prevent hiring individuals with a history of violent or sexual offenses.

To maintain a safe and professional work environment, the following guidelines will apply:

Criminal History Screening:

All candidates for employment will undergo a state and national criminal history background check prior to the finalization of any job offer.

Disqualifying Offenses:

  • Candidates with any violent or sexual felony convictions in their history (regardless of when the conviction occurred) will not be considered for employment. This includes, but is not limited to, felonies related to physical assault, abuse, sexual assault, sexual misconduct, or similar offenses.

Background Check Process:

  • The criminal background check will be conducted after a conditional job offer is made. The offer will be contingent on the successful completion of this background check.
  • If the background check reveals a violent or sexual felony conviction, the job offer will be immediately rescinded, and the candidate will be disqualified from further consideration for the position.

Review of Criminal History:

  • While violent or sexual felony convictions will result in disqualification, we will review the nature of any other criminal convictions on a case-by-case basis. Other offenses may not automatically disqualify a candidate but will be considered in relation to the position applied for and the organization's mission.

Confidentiality:

  • All criminal history information obtained will be kept strictly confidential and will only be shared with authorized personnel involved in the hiring process. Any information obtained will be used solely to assess the candidate's suitability for employment.

Compliance with Applicable Laws:

  • This policy is designed to comply with applicable state and federal laws, including the Colorado Fair Employment Practices Act and other relevant regulations. We will ensure that all applicants are treated fairly, and that decisions are based on qualifications, skills, and the safety requirements of the position.
