seems like a lot of what you'll need to do is on the employer education. please excuse my ignorance, I hope their not offensive, I'm just trying to help.

1. is there any extra liability for the employer if they knowingly hire someone formerly incarcerated and they commit a crime while working for them.

2. aren't some kind of tax credits for hiring formerly incarcerated incarcerated people.

3. is it only w2 or do you allow 1099 opportunities.

Actually, a federal bonding program has existed for decades, to indemnify employers making "at-risk" hires. Interestingly, on a very few claims have ever been filed. It's a myth that these folks will be criminals on the job. In fact, studies out of Harvard and U of Mass suggest that they actually can make better employees than those without records. There are indeed federal tax credits (Work Opportunity Tax Credits) available. Generally, we're talking w2 jobs (which are also a requirement of parole/probation, generally)

Thanks for the clarifications.

- It's a myth that these folks will be criminals on the job.

I wasn't trying to imply they were, I was more thinking of a company getting dragged into a witch hunt. Regardless of the population there's always a bad apple just like there's a diamond.
