Fair Chance Hiring & Equal Opportunity

Our Commitment

Choice Home Health Care Services Inc. is committed to fair and equitable hiring practices. We believe all individuals deserve an opportunity to work and contribute, regardless of past involvement with the criminal justice system.

We comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, including the Los Angeles Fair Chance Initiative for Hiring Ordinance.

Equal Opportunity Employment

We are an equal opportunity employer and do not discriminate based on:

• Race
• Color
• Religion
• Sex
• Gender identity or expression
• Sexual orientation
• National origin
• Age
• Disability
• Veteran status
• Any other protected characteristic under applicable law

Fair Chance Hiring Practices

We do not inquire about an applicant's criminal history until a conditional offer of employment has been made.

After a conditional offer:

• A background check may be conducted where permitted by law
• Any criminal history is evaluated individually
• We consider the nature and gravity of the offense, the time that has passed, and the nature of the job

Individualized Assessment

If a background check reveals a conviction that may impact the role, we will conduct an individualized assessment before making any employment decision. Applicants will receive:

• Written notice of the potential adverse decision
• A copy of the background report
• An opportunity to provide additional information or clarification

Applicant Rights

Applicants have the right to:

• Respond to any findings
• Provide evidence of rehabilitation or mitigating circumstances
• Request reconsideration

We will not take adverse action without providing this opportunity.

Healthcare & Regulatory Considerations

As a home health care provider, certain positions may be subject to state licensing requirements, background clearance regulations, and client safety standards. All hiring decisions are made in compliance with these requirements while still adhering to fair chance laws.

Non-Retaliation

We prohibit retaliation against any applicant or employee who exercises their rights under this policy, files a complaint, or participates in an investigation.
