Qualified applicants with arrest or conviction records will be considered for employment in accordance with the Los Angeles County Fair Chance Ordinance for Employers, the California Fair Chance Act and any other applicable city, county, or local ordinances. Good cause exists for a criminal background check because one of the material duties of this position requires access to sensitive financial information and confidential and proprietary information and accordingly requires the candidate to possess a high level of integrity and discretion. The Company faces a significant risk to its business operations or business reputation if a criminal history check is not performed. A criminal history that has a direct, adverse, and negative relationship with these material duties may potentially result in the withdrawal of a conditional offer of employment.
