A member writes: "One of the owners of our company would like to know when any applicant for a job has been convicted of a felony. He wants to use this information as a tie-breaker when hiring, as best I can tell. This feels wrong to me; we have certain convictions that are deal breakers when hiring and that are job related. But even though he is an owner and has a right to the information I don't think he needs to know it. I am concerned about how he wants to use the info and am worried that even though being convicted of a felony isn't a protected class as far as discrimination goes, it isn’t a good business practice."
