Episode 27: Did We Make A Bad Hire? What the Dallas Cowboys 🏈 and Micah Parsons Situation Has To Do With Your Organization

(Recorded 9-5-25)At long last, the National Football League (NFL) is back! And, of course our attention properly is focused on our Super Bowl Champion🏆, Philadelphia Eagles! However, the off-season presented a situation relevant to all of our organizations - the dysfunctional experience between the Dallas Cowboys and superstar (and former-Cowboy), Micah Parsons.👀 Friends, background checks matter! Uncovering our would-be employees' downsides and/or, worse, convictions, is crucial! Today's video examines, among other issues, the following: 1️⃣ Whether an arrest can be considered in making an employment decision 2️⃣ When are convictions job-related and consistent with business necessity 3️⃣ Why the articulation of "the exercise of bad judgment" rarely, if ever, will justify relying on a conviction to disqualify an applicantAs always, thank you so much for watching, for commenting and for sharing. I appreciate your support more than you know! 💜🙏🤩Duane Morris LLP Duane Morris Institute______________________________________________________Michael S.
